Stros offer Willy T. a Minor League Contract


The Astros have offered Willy Taveras a minor league contract.

No surprise here. GM Ed Wade expressed interest in such a transaction when Taveras was originally designated for assignment by Oakland Tuesday. The 28-year-old batted just .240/.275/.285 in 404 at-bats last season, but could be a decent backup outfielder due to his speed and defense. Source: Houston Chronicle Related: Astros

Another Michael Bourn on the bench (except willy t i alot worse)

I dont mind the move...rather have willy t then whoever our backups are now...(Sullivan? Michaels? i dunno who we have)
