Lots-O-Links

Lots of news over the last couple of days and unfortunately too little time to post it all so here are some links for your perusal ...

The Astros are in the process of signing RHP Jerome Williams to a major league contract, pending his physical. A cut will have to be made from the 40-man roster to make room for him as it currently stands at 40 without the addition of Williams.

Astros County has the scoop (from me) on a June 10th Futures Game at Minute Maid Park between the Corpus Christi Hooks and the San Antonio Missions.

The Astros have announced the addition of a second Dominican Summer League team. Oh joy! Dustin, Buca and I will now have nine teams to cover with recaps this summer.

And CSN Houston has been placed in Chapter 11 bankruptcy which throws a huge monkey wrench into the process for trying to get the Astros games back on TV for those 60-percenters (like me) who don't currently get the games.

And who said there was nothing going on in the off season?
