Astros Re-Sign Ausmus
The Houston Astros have re-signed veteran catcher Brad Ausmus to a 1-year deal worth $2 million plus incentives. Ausmus batted .235/.318/.324 in 2007, and hasn’t had a decent offensive season since the 20th century. The good news is he turns 39 in April, so you know that’s going to change.
Here is the best part of the press release:
He recorded his 100th career stolen base on July 27th, becoming the 21st catcher all-time to reach the 100-steal plateau.
Also, Ausmus is 24 home runs shy of 100. At his current pace, he’ll reach that milestone in 2013, at age 44. I look forward to it…
