The Astros added some much-needed horsepower as well as a starting pitcher Friday with the signing of slugger Carlos Lee to a six-year, $100 million contract and veteran right-hander Woody Williams to a two-year, $12.5 million deal. Lee's contract represents the largest total package given to a player in franchise history, eclipsing the five-year, $85 million contract extension Jeff Bagwell received in 2001 and the six-year, $85 million extension Lance Berkman signed in 2004. Lee, nicknamed "El Caballo" (The Horse), hit a combined .300 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs for Milwaukee and Texas last season. He will join a Houston offense that tied Tampa Bay for the lowest team batting average in baseball last season (.255). The Astros scored 735 runs in 2006, fewer than all but five of the Major Leagues' 30 teams. Houston's 708 RBIs ranked 23rd. "This is a historic commitment to winning," Houston general manager Tim Purpura said at a Minute Maid Park press conference. "When we met this offseason to plot our strategy, we set up our goals for what we wanted to accomplish in the offseason market in the free-agent market and the trade market. Our first priority was to increase our offensive production in the outfield. Our second priority was to add a starting pitcher. Today, with the signings of Carlos Lee and Woody Williams, we feel like we've addressed those two top priorities in a very significant manner."
