Especially with Jeremy Peña also injured, he has a real shot to earn a lot of playing time. Even if it doesn't work out for the Astros he's gonna be putting a lot of himself out there for other teams to see. It's nice having an Aggie on the Astros

Just keep that MLB average up at a respectable level and he could stick for a while at one of the middle infield skill positions somewhere. His current .313 this year is probably just adrenaline and will drop, but anywhere .250 or higher at middle infield will result in a long MLB career.

Yep. If he can stay above .250, play solid defense and provide some pop he will be there for quite a while

Yes this is the first time he has the opportunity to play an entire year at the big league level. There's got to be some comfort knowing you can't be demoted for going 0-8.

If Jose Abreu made it for a full season plus in that lineup……..Shew will be just fine

Abreau had about 1,400 hits and 240 home runs before he joined the Astros. These 2 aren't alike.
