Top Play: Justin Maxwell Safety Squeeze
Houston Astros fans have had little to cheer about this season, as their lowly Astros have the worst record in the Major Leagues at 34-67. Although the Astros are likely out of playoff contention, their young players do their best to provide a good show for the home crowd.
Such was the case on Friday night, as Justin Maxwell made an acrobatic move to avoid a tag on a safety squeeze...

Astros claim Justin Maxwell off waivers
Just as expected, the Houston Astros claimed Yankees outfielder Justin Maxwell, who didn’t make the team out of spring training and was out of options, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
It’s a shame the Yankees had to lose Maxwell, who had a very strong showing in the spring, especially after Raul Ibanez showed everyone why he’s a DH and not an outfielder on Sunday...

A couple of position players failed to make the team yesterday as the Yankees released Bill Hall and designated Justin Maxwell for assignement, according to Dan Barbarisi and Wallace Matthews.

Maxwell likely done with the Yankees
Our own Nick Fleder wrote a great piece comparing Yankees outfielders Justin Maxwell and Chris Dickerson yesterday. Both seem like strong tools off the bench who could even be decent starters with a few teams around the league. However, the Yankees are on the verge of losing Maxwell because he is out of options and they would certainly lose him in waivers if he doesn’t make the...
