I'm betting Luhnow didn't want to put Abad or Wright through waivers. I doubt it was a decision to improve the current product on the field.
And probably also because we have two rookie starters and Wandy and Happ who had shaky springs, Astros will probably get knocked around a bit.
Apologies for the necrobump, but... it's almost that time of year again. I feel as if it's really coming up at a faster pace than usual. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/search/%23Astros">#Astros</a> pitchers and catchers report Feb. 11 and work out Feb. 12.
