Houston Astros: Without An Offense Since 2004

So, how do you fix a team that is awful on offense? Why, overpaying for a mediocre second baseman of course!

The Astros signed Kaz Matsui to a 3 year/$16.5 million deal on friday. Matsui, 32, is set to take over the job from Chris Burke, apparently because Matsui can hit at Coors field.

The Astros deserve whatever's coming to the for this deal. Matsui is awful, and because he hit some bullshit milestone stat ("30 extra base hits, and 30 Steals!!) he gets a deal worh over $5 mil per year. This shows that the Astros are a poorly run organization in desperate need for any offense which they can get.
