Astros re-sign Michaels, sign Gustavo Chacin
Well, I guess they got a backup outfielder, though it's not the one everyone expected. The Astros also get a very interesting project in Chacin with previous experience under Arnsberg. Will be avidly following spring training to see how he does.

jason freakin michaels
ugh, really?
$800k for this coming year, an option for the next.
not that i had high hopes for the ‘10 season, but this just makes me think they’re conceding the year already
Well, he did hit two home runs in one game.
I was there. :)

Jason Michaels is getting paid
For Aug 5th – Aug 9th. That’s it.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

A hit's a hit's a hit.
As I mentioned in the other thread, I like this move. It’s impossible for a pinch hitter to avoid looking a little streaky because the sample sizes are so small. All I need to see is that he held true to his career numbers without major statistical red flags and I’m satisfied.
.752 OPS this year, .754 OPS for his career. 9.4 career UZR/150 in the outfield. Enough said.
I like this move as well
if it’s for under 1 mil doesn’t bother me at all.
I also like the fact that his family is so involved in the charity work.

I'm really just down on this coming year
Half of our regular lineup (pitcher nonwithstanding) is Towles/Quintero, Feliz/Blum, Matsui, and Manzella. Our fairly dismal offense from last year is going to be a good bit worse this year..
as it stands, the Astros are likely to be offensively challenged. Matsui may show a bounceback season, for what that is worth, and we can hope for Towles to finally achieve his offensive projections. Those two possibilities would be helpful at least.
That would be nice, especially if you could slot Matsui in the 2 hole allowing Pence to move to the 5th spot, Feliz 6th, Towles and Manzella. As is I’d put Pence in the 2nd spot and Feliz 5th, Towles, Matsui, and Manzella which is a bit concerning at this point.

Yep, yep, that's all we needed to contend.
Hooray for Chacin as a reclamation project! His pitching motion pisses me off.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
