The Houston Astros made a small move yesterday by signing 36-year-old left-hander Neal Cotts to a minor league deal. The Astros only have Tony Sipp currently projected to be on the Opening Day roster. There were rumors earlier in the offseason that the Astros reached out to 40-year-old Randy Choate, but nothing every happened there. Could the Astros go without a second left-hander in the bullpen, yes, but they see Sipp as a more of a lock down set up guy. With the Cotts signing, this confirms a belief that I have had that the Astros don’t have too much faith in Kevin Chapman.
