HOUSTON -- Astros general manager Ed Wade got an up-close look at Cuban phenom Aroldis Chapman during a private workout in Houston on Dec. 15 that was arranged by his agents and came away impressed -- just not enough to make a run for the left-hander ...  

Brad Mills has a busy 2010 ahead of him; and for Houston’s new skipper, March madness begins as soon as the team lands in Florida for Spring Training. But in all actuality, the chaos has already begun for next season’s Astros manager; and after glancing at what could be in regards to next year’s starting rotation , bullpen , infield , outfield , catchers , and bench , it’s now time to look at the 2010 manager and coaching positions. 2010...

After spending the past week looking at everything from starting pitching, to the probable bullpen , to what Houston’s 2010 infield will likely look like, it’s time to take a deeper glance at who the Astros will have roaming the outfield next season. The outfield is one place where Houston actually has a load of talent, with a trio of stars manning the outskirts of Minute Maid Park. From veteran Carlos Lee, to the speedy Michael Bourn, to...  

Ok, so I've spent a few blog postings whining about how Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane knows as much about baseball as ESPN columnist Rick Reilly (who famously has whined about how boring baseball is despite getting euphoric about that wonderful cure for insomnia, golf). I've also worried about Houston's off-season moves and how creamed cauliflower will have a better 2010 than the 'Stros will. Today, we take an acrostic look at what...  

Shortstop Adam Everett was signed Monday to a one-year contract for the 2010 season by the Detroit Tigers, who were able to cross an item off their shopping list. The signing of Everett does not come as much of a surprise for a franchise that is short of cash but flush with needs. The financial reality of the Tigers does not allow them much leeway in offseason spending. The free agent market was thin on talent at shortstop to begin with. Alex...

I think I'd have a much easier time trying to correctly interpret David Lynch's film Eraserhead than I would trying to understand what the Houston Astros front office is up to these days. For those not up on cinematic issues, Lynch has never publicly commented on the interpretation of his 1977 horror/fantasy/sci-fi/drama, only to say that of all the guesses fans have made, nobody's ever come close to its true meaning. I was under the strong...  

This is the sixth installment of the grading of the starters for the Cincinnati Reds' 2009 performances. Willy Taveras is my biggest disappointment of the Reds' acquisitions last season. He came in as the reigning National League stolen base champ with 68. This season, he "tentatively" stole only 25 bases and finished a dismal ninth in the league. Michael Bourn of the Houston Astros was the league's most prolific thief this year with 61. When...
