Janek is the new Dumper. There, I said it.

Astros catcher coach was dismissed. Maldy would be a great fit for that position to work his way to bench coach.

I agree. Maybe he could get Diaz back on track.

I loved what Maldy brought to the team in terms of catching, pitcher management, and clubhouse presence. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Per LockedOnAstros - Houston signs RP Nate Pearson (age 29) to a 1 year deal.

While he has only started 6 games out of 123 for his career, it is believed the Astros are going to try and make him a starter.

156.2 total innings, 5.17 ERA, 160 K, 74 BB, .255 avg, 1.45 WHiP

Didn't Ketch say the Astros wanted him? Would probably be cheaper than Mackenzie Gore

Not very common for college coach to become mlb manager. Looks like Pat Murphy was the last, but he was also in MiLB for awhile.

Vitello in the MLB will either be great or a colossal failure. I don't think he's a good fit there.

I'd imagine in about 3 years he's back on the job market

Maybe not, but the players are getting younger and younger, or rather more from this mold of high energy bordering on arrogance. More bat flips and all that.
