Astros offseason moves bold and glamorous
Retired? Not yet, bored with this years off season? **** Yeah! The Astros continued their whirlwind off season acquisitions yesterday with the signing of Matt Kata, a 30 year old minor league player who they hope can compete for a spot to back up Miguel Tejada.
