Roster Moves - 2/23

According to Baseball America, the Astros have signed 26-year old 2B Jose Martinez. Described as a former number 8 prospect going into the 2008 season in this post on Scout.com from March 2011, they explain what went wrong for Martinez:

"His career stalled as he dealt with the after-effects of a very difficult family tragedy and several serious injuries, including a broken bone in his left foot and surgery on his right shoulder. Martinez missed almost all of the last two seasons in the process."
