Astros Sign Richard Hidalgo to Minor League Deal

by @ 7:13 pm. Filed under 2007 Astros

Richard Hidalgo is coming home.  After being traded to the Mets and sitting out the 2006 season, Hidalgo will be invited to spring training with a chance to win a job in Houston where he put together his best seasons.  He hasn’t played for the Astros since he was traded to the Mets in 2004 and it seems like so long ago since he had that career year in which he hit 44 homeruns back in 2000.

Regardless, we’ll get to see what the 31 year old can do.  He couldn’t make the Orioles last year which isn’t encouraging.  Right now, Hidalgo is playing in the Venezuela winter league so he should be ready to go come February when spring training starts.
