More photos » by Alan Diaz - AP Browse more photos » Why are we fretting so much about Jose Valverde and LaTroy Hawkins ? I mean aside from the fact that they're talented pitchers with above average ability. Closers, and the set-up men whose shoulders they stand on, enter games in situations where we as fans have our stomach in knots. In someone like Valverde's case, he toes the rubber...

Drayton McLane promised me he wouldn't hire a manager before sitting down discussing the matter with me. Did I believe him? OK, let's face it, Drayton isn't always the world's most sincere person. Still, I figured he might give me at least a telephone call. I didn't want to think he'd told me a big fat whopper. Turns out, he told me a big fat whopper. He probably told a dozen others he was going to...

The soon-to-be 32-year old had his worst season as a professional, but was that a sign of aging and decline, or just a bump in the road? His BABiP shows he wasn't unlucky in 2009 and was right in line with his career average....

So Manny Acta turned us down, because our owner wouldn't throw an extra year on a contract. Can anyone honestly say that they didn't think Drayton McLane would mess up the negotiations process?...

Brad Mills is the new manager of the Houston Astros. The 52-year-old Mills has been Terry Francona's bench coach in Boston for the past six seasons. He'll manage in the majors for the first time, though he's managed a total of 11 seasons in the minors, with affiliates for the Chicago Cubs (1987-92), Colorado Rockies (1993-96) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2002). The Astros fired Cecil Cooper on Sept 21....

via images.chron.com View full size photo uploaded October 25, 2009 If I would have know how prescient it would be when I wrote it, I probably wouldn't have. But I wrote it, and now we have to deal with the fact that Drayton McLane still hasn't figured it out. How much money is spent or how good the team has been in years past, is not actually what determines the on field product. What determines the...

Manny Acta was the guy they wanted. The Astros liked everything about him. His presence and personality. How he forged relationships with players. His ability to run a game. I said from the beginning that there was no right answer in this search for a new manager. Manny Acta would have been terrific, but then so would Phil Garner, Bob Melvin, Tim Bogar, Jim Fregosi and a dozen or so others. But the...

Phil Garner didn't need to bring a resume to his interview with the Houston Astros on Saturday. He just wore his NL championship ring. Garner met with the Astros to talk about becoming their next manager, just over two years after the franchise fired him. His successor, Cecil Cooper, was fired on Sept. 21, two weeks before Houston finished the season 74-88. Garner didn't intend to chase his old job....

This is a team with a lot of issues. They have a lot of payroll tied up in aging players, their farm system is depleted, and they played so poorly in 2009 they got their manager fired. Cecil Cooper was let go with two weeks left in the regular season, but the Astros are looking [...]
