Wunderkind Phil Nevin returns to the scene of the crime to finally do something meaningful in an Astros uniform??
He's not gonna have the time. He's gonna have to attend a different parade every other day. People seem to like to throw them for him.
Ausmus took his name out of consideration 2 years ago. He knew he was a hot candidate, and knew there would be better opportunities.

Too bad he can't come play 3B and hit .280 with 35-40 bombs. THAT would be finishing your business in Houston.
