Reports Say Astros, Matsui Agree to $15 Million Deal

01aaaaaakaz.jpg

It appears that the Astros are set to sign Craig Biggio's heir apparent: Kaz Matusi. Matusi batted .288 for the NL Champion Colorado Rockies last year with 84 runs scored and 32 stolen bases. Along with Michael Bourn, the two speedsters should wreck havoc for opposing NL catchers.

Though the Astros have yet to comment on this deal, the Daily Herald and the Houston Chronicle both report that sources close to the situation have confirmed Matusi's arrival to Houston.

In his four-year MLB career with the New Mets and Colorado Rockies, Matsui has a .272 average with 17 home runs, 242 runs scored and 62 stolen bases.

I am really looking forward to this season! GO ASTROS!

Wade's making some savvy moves here. Filling in all the right pieces.

Just wait till they turn Scott and Burke around for a decent starting pitcher...
