[新聞] Astros Unlikely To Be Significant Players in Free Agency
Richard Justice of The Houston Chronicle writes that the Astros are "unlikely
to be significant players in free agency this winter." The team is trying to
lower payroll and get younger, something signing free agents generally won't
accomplish. Justice does say that the club would like to retain relievers
LaTroy Hawkins and Jose Valverde, both of whom will be free agents after this
year.
Houston started the season with close to a $103MM payroll according to Cot's,
but they could shen $17.75MM by letting Miguel Tejada, Mike Hampton, and Darin
Erstad walk as free agents. However, a significant chunk of those savings will
probably end up being redistributed to Wandy Rodriguez and Hunter Pence, both
of whom should receive big raises in arbitration (Pence will likely qualify
as a Super Two).
In their effort to incorporate more youth into their lineup, Justice says we
could see third baseman Chris Johnson, shortstop Tommy Manzella, second
baseman Edwin Maysonet, and catcher Jason Castro in the Opening Day lineup
next year. The team will also probably ask reliever Wesley Wrigth to come to
camp next year prepared to complete for a rotation spot.
