2012-11-03 11:05:04The Astros have interest in Lance Berkman
The Astros are set to make the switch to the American League next season. And
they have set their sights on a familiar face to be their designated hitter.
According to Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle, Astros general manager
Jeff Luhnow said at the team’s uniform unveiling tonight that he plans to
reach out to Berkman to gauge his interest about returning to his roots.
“We’re going to make a baseball decision for the organization and for the
future of the Houston Astros,” Luhnow said “Clearly Lance has a great
history here and he was a key part of a great franchise in a great time. If
we feel collectively that there’s a fit in terms of what we need and what he
can provide, we won’t be hesitant to pursue it.”
Berkman, 36, was limited to just 32 games this season due to knee problems
and said in September that he was considering retiring and going back to Rice
University to finish his degree. Health concerns aside, it’s not clear
whether he’s willing to play in a league which he referred to as “Mickey
Mouse” last month. And though it was a small sample, he was also pretty
terrible as a DH with the Yankees in 2010.
Berkman, who still keeps a home in Houston, was a first-round pick of the
Astros in 1997 and played 12 seasons with the club before being traded to the
Yankees in 2010. He is fifth in team history in hits, fourth in games played,
third in RBI, second in homers and first in OPS.

明年搬到美西的太空人 開始尋找DH人選 "好白肥 不回鍋嗎?"
2010年球季在NYY有擔任DH的經驗
在太空人時期累積的成績:安打數 隊史第五
出賽數 隊史第四
打點數 隊史第三
全壘打 隊史第二
OPS 隊史第一 蠻希望看到Berkman返老東家退休的!
