LAKELAND, Fla. -- Colin Moran spends his offseason in southern Florida, living just a few miles away from Astros hitting coordinator Jeff Albert in Palm Beach Gardens. The Astros' prospect took advantage of that proximity to refine his swing this winter after a bumpy Major League debut last year.
Moran went 0-for-2 during Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Tigers.
The former No. 6 overall pick of the Marlins who was traded to the Astros in 2014, will have four weeks of Grapefruit League action to prove to manager A.J. Hinch and the rest of the staff that the work paid off, but the early returns from his swings during the first 10 days of big league camp have been good.
