Since ending the live game blogs, Zach Levine of the Chronicle started doing daily a.m. reports that cover interesting Astros-related topics and minor league updates among other things. In my opinion, Zach does the best Astros coverage at the Chronicle by a wide margin. He's heavy into the statistics and mixes in some good quality dry humor. Just go to the "The Unofficial Scorer" blog on the bottom left of the Astros home page: http://www.chron.com/sports/astros/ It's usually very interesting and informative stuff. I recommend checking it out if you haven't already done so.
Thanks for the heads up BrooksBall. Don't really read much Astros related stuff but this looks like it'd be a nice place to start.
