The Astros signed veteran pitcher Livan Hernandez to a minor league deal and he’ll get a look this spring.  I like this deal and I think Livan will make the team.  He’s an innings eater and while he’s not going to contend for a Cy Young, he’s just what the Astros need in this transition period.

Livan was 8-13 last year with a 4.47 ERA in 175 1/3 innings.  He’s good for 200 innings in a season and he’s never been on the disabled list.  Plus, he’s fun to watch with that big looping curverball he throws.
