The Houston Astros‘ offseason hasn’t gone how we had hoped, but that doesn’t mean whatsoever that it was a failure. While Spring Training workouts started this morning, the Astros will have the opportunity to move two players off their 40-man roster; those being Justin Verlander and Josh James. These two moves could lead to one more possible signing, as Steve Cishek should be a lock to the 40-man roster as the expected closer.
