Miggy's gone too according to Wade. Miggy was our anchor. Without him in the lineup, Batting averages around his spot in the batting order could plummet. There’s no one to pitch around anymore.
Astros are actually shopping for a third baseman and trying to reduce Blum’s role to a utility infielder. Did they not see what he could accomplish as an everyday starter last season? Perhaps they are afraid of injury.
And it looks like the Astros are going to back up the money truck for LaTroy Hawkins, possibly even offer him a multi-year contract, which was the deal-breaker with Miggy and Valverde…
Pretty nice 1.71 ERA in 89 games last season, but I just don’t see LaTroy as an everyday closer. Hope I’m wrong.
