		<description><![CDATA[The Astros signed veteran pitcher Livan Hernandez to a minor league deal and he&#8217;ll get a look this spring.  I like this deal and I think Livan will make the team.  He&#8217;s an innings eater and while he&#8217;s not going to contend for a Cy Young, he&#8217;s just what the Astros need in this transition [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s just get this out of the way, but Jeff Bagwell got the shaft last year.  He should make some gains but the fact that he may have used PEDs because he played during those times is a little ridiculous.  Bagwell finished with a career .948 OPS, 449 home runs, 1,529 RBIs, 1,517 runs, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Astros closer Mark Melancon was dealt to the Red Sox today for shortstop Jed Lowrie and pitcher Kyle Weiland.  Melancon had 20 of the Astros 25 saves in 2011 and he also went 8-4 with a 2.78 ERA and 66 strikeouts in 74 1/3 innings.  It&#8217;s safe to say the Astros don&#8217;t need a really [...]]]></description>

Happ was tendered a contract so he&#8217;ll be one of the guys the Astros have to talk to or end up going to the arbitration table with.  Happ had a rough year with a 6-15 record and a 5.35 ERA.  Part of the Roy Oswalt trade, Happ&#8217;s last solid season was [...]]]></description>
