HOUSTON -- There's been no shortage of Astros news lately. The club will finally have a Hall of Fame later this year, All-Star Alex Bregman is recovering from elbow surgery and Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt fell off the National Hall of Fame ballot in their first year of eligibility.
As far as roster moves go, the club hasn't made one since it signed outfielder Michael Brantley in December. Yes, president of baseball operations and general manager Jeff Luhnow is still trying to land a starting pitcher, but the market remains stagnant with Spring Training quickly approaching.
