Bluebird Banter (Free subscription) | 10/31/2009
Cito's staying, Brad Arnsberg is going. Here is the press release. I will comment more tomorrow, don't have time at the moment, but am very sad to see Arnsberg gone from the team.

Lose Brad Arnsberg for One Season of Cito Gaston? Who Thinks That's a Good Trade Off?
Bluebird Banter (Free subscription) | 10/31/2009
So what do we think about Cito staying and Arnsberg going? Our friends at Tao of Stieb and The Drunks very clearly hate it. And they are right. We all have been working under the theory that Cito and Brad couldn't work together another year. One of them had to go.

UPDATE: Astros hire Arnsberg as PC, Re-sign Blum
The Crawfish Boxes (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009

Fairly progressive organization he comes from, so maybe he'll have some progressive ideas about dealing with pitchers. Blum only signed for 1.5 mil, which seems reasonable for a bench player.

The Crawfish Boxes (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009
Today, Dying Quail posted his shoestring-budget plan for the Astros offseason, and it included signing a top-tier reclamation project so that new pitching coach Brad Arnsberg could work his magic. I like the idea of going for upside this offseason with our pitching signings...I'm not really up for repeating the Hampton/Ortiz experience next season. Inspired, I've cobbled together quick...

... to learn to think before he talks to the press. Continued after the jump..... And, yeah we lost Brad Arnsberg , and that I hate. But there are other good pitching coaches in the game. Everyone speaks highly of his replacement, Bruce Walton . It's not like we let Cito hire the guy that was pitching coach in 1993.
