| 1st December, 2007 - 10:40 pm | ESPN - The Houston Astros traded for Tampa Bay third baseman Ty Wigginton late last season to try and add some offense to their infield. The revamping of the infield may continue as the Astros appear close to adding Colorado Rockies' second baseman Kazuo Matsui, too.
KRIV-TV reported on its Web site Saturday that Matsui, who arrived in Houston on Friday, has passed his team physical clearing the way for the team to announce his signing Sunday. According to the Fox affiliate in Houston, the Astros and Matsui have agreed to a three-year deal worth more than $15 million.
Matsui, 32, hit .288 with 24 doubles, 37 RBIs and 32 stolen bases as the Rockies advanced to the first World Series in team history last fall. His bat should help the Astros, who were among the MLB's worst in many offensive categories including a .260 team batting average. [READ] |
