Astros sign Houston-native Chris Snyder
For Chris Snyder, just finding an opportunity would have been enough. Getting a shot with his hometown team was far more than he expected.
The Astros signed the 30-year old catcher Friday to a one year contract with a mutual option for 2013. Snyder gives the Astros a veteran player to add to the mix with Humberto Quintero and the very young Jason Castro, who is coming off knee surgery...

The Pirates replaced Cedeno with Clint...
