JORDAN SCHAFER RUMORS
Schafer making case for short-term leadoff solution
ATLANTA By the time Jordan Schafer made significant contact Friday night, he already knew the ball was sailing in the wrong direction.

Tales of the Odd: Jordan Schafer Returns to Atlanta
I escaped Newark this weekend to get some electricity, and I’ve been working backwards through what was apparently a very busy week in baseball. I came across this small headline:
“Braves claim Jordan Schafer from Astros”
Now that seems like a small move, which it is. But that name should sound familiar to you.
Jordan Schafer was traded from the Braves to the Astros! He was...

Even Jordan Schafer can't believe the Houston Astros finally won a game
The Houston Astros entered tonight having lost 13 of their last 14 games as well as their last 13 road games. To say that a win was unexpected is something of an understatement, even though they were playing the slightly less lowly Padres.
One certainly wouldn't blame an Astros fan for having some fun at the expense of their struggling team, especially on Twitter where...

provides one of the few significant base-stealing threats on the roster. Through the Astros' 1-0 victory...

Potential 2012 Houston Astros lineup
1. Jordan Schafer CF
Schafer has the skills and the speed to play center field in the major leagues. But skills do not equal production. Schafer first must prove he can stay healthy -- he has battled a broken wrist and a broken finger in recent seasons.

Houston Astros centerfielder Jordan Schafer hit .245 with one home run and six RBI this past season.
So he didn’t really make a lot news for his on the field exploits this past season. But he did get some media attention while driving in Tampa last night. The Astros were smoked over and over again by their opponents this past summer.
This is a story of an Astros player probably...
