The Astros signed catcher Carlos Corporan to a minor league deal and he’ll get a chance to test his wares at spring training in 2012. Carlos was part of the Brewers organization before the Astros brought him on as a backup in 2011. The bat was really never there and he just .188 hence the minor league deal.
The Astros have been busy with the non-roster invitees. Now that Crane finally has the team, it’ll be interesting to see what approach he takes. My guess is the Astros are quiet this year and start building from the bottom up. but it would be nice if they made some moves and we had some more big league talent on this team. It’s also going to be hard signing someone if the team isn’t good and they’re going to have to pay a premium like the Nationals did with Jayson Werth.
