The Houston Astros are struggling as expected under first-year manager Bo Porter in their first year as an American League club.
Porter can't be sure if Houston's rebuilding plan will work, but he certainly believes in it.
"I didn't expect it to be easy," he said. "Anyone that would've expected it to be easy, I think they would've been naïve to the facts of everything that's going on. But I firmly believe that I'm up for the challenge. I firmly believe that our organization is up for the challenge.
"I believe in our vision. I believe in what it is we've all set out to do and time will only tell."
