The team is coming together with a trio of signings. Outfielder Michael Bourn, right-hander Matt Lindstrom and catcher Humberto Quintero all signed 1 year contracts. Bourn wasn't really bothered with the negotiations. His 1 year contract is worth $2.4 million plus bonuses.

7-16 also marked Lance's decade with the Astros. Lance is in the top 3 Astros offensive players. He currently had 306 home runs as of 7-16-9

Lance hit RBI 1,000 & 1,001 on 6-25-9. This makes him the 3rd Astro to bat in over 1,000 runs. Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio are the other two "Killer B's" with over 1,000 RBIs.

Last year the Astros opened a Youth Academy. The Astros, MLB and the City of Houston worked together to create the Houston Astros MLB Urban Youth Baseball Academy at Sylvester Turner Park.

The Astros are so healthy that the backups just don't get any play time. Veterans Brad Ausmus, Mark Loretta, Jose Cruz Jr., Geoff Blum and Darin Erstad are just biding their time.

You see Big Puma everywhere at the Astros games. It's certainly more flattering than Lance Berkman's previous nickname "Fat Elvis" and it was coined on a local radio talk show. Berkman's speed and hitting add to the Big Puma image. He's hitting almost .500 for May and hit an amazing .545 in a seventeen game hitting streak. His .385 for the season is 2nd only Chipper Jones.

The 2009 25 man roster for opening day featured 12 pitchers. Kazuo Matsui was on the 15 day disabled list.

2009 saw Michael Tejada in camp and ready to play baseball. Manager Cooper was thrilled to have him on board. The trade for Michael cost the Astros 5 players including top prospect Troy Patton.

Here's some of Tejada's stats:

This will be the year that Craig Biggio's number gets retired. Roger Clemens' number won't be retired since he was only with the Astros 3 years.

Hunter Pence will miss a week of camp after an accident with a sliding glass door.

The reorganization of the team was made to avoid a repeat of the 2007 season. Almost a dozen faces from the 2007 year are no longer with the Astros. Even a player who was slated to join the Astros in camp didn't get by this sweep. The bullpen is renewed and the team has speed to burn. Closer Brad Lidge & infielder Eric Bruntlett were traded to Phillie for Michael Bourn. Josh Anderson was traded to the Atlanta Braves for relief pitcher Oscar Villarreal.

Kaz Matsui was lured to camp with a 16.5 million dollar contract. He's posted high numbers at home but not nearly as good when he's on the road. Hopefully Kaz will post big numbers for the Astros both on the road and at home.

GM Ed Wade has had a busy off-season but the Astros still need a starting pitcher to follow Roy Oswalt. Perhaps Brandon Backe, Wandy Rodriguez, or Woody Williams will step up for that position.

Spring training is filled with drama as the Astros pick & choose who will make this year's roster. Miguel Tejada is the big name player in camp and is expected to show up for the full squad workout February 19. There's a lot of work to be done before the 1st game on March 31. They are looking for a backup for Roy Oswalt. The Astros are hoping Wandy Rodriguez will mature this year and that Brandon Backe will be 100% after his surgery. They are hopeful that Woody Williams will pick up the pace this season.

Speedster Michael Bourn will be playing center field and Kaz Matsui will play 2nd base for Craig Biggio. Big hitters Tejada, Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence should be formidable this year. Offense was a bit lackluster last year so the Astros are hoping to turn it up a notch this season.

With the deal settled with Jose Valverde, the Astros can concentrate getting him settled in with the team. The Valverde trade cost the Astros 3 players. He should be a force to contend with in the center of the lineup. Valverde is expected to be the stable closer that Houston has lacked for some time.

The Astros are out to take another shot at the National League Central title. Some familiar faces are missing in the lineup including Craig Biggio, Roger Clemens, Jeff Bagwell, and Andy Pettitte. Last season the Astros bid farewell to Texas Baseball Hall of Famer Craig Biggio. He's the only player to achieve 600 doubles, 250 homers, 3,000 hits and 400 steals.
