Astros- Aaron Boone news

Aaron Boone will undergo open heart surgery and will miss the entire season.  Doctors think he will be able to play baseball again, but Boone isn’t sure if he wants to in the future.

This leaves the Astros pretty much with Geoff Blum at 3B, unless they promote a rookie from triple A. This is another situation where having Ty Wigginton in the organization would be a huge plus, but I’ve already blogged about that.

Obviously, Astro fans wish him a safe and compplication free surgery, but it is odd that he knew he had a heart problem from college and has taken this long to fix it, and certainly puts the team in a bind at the hot corner.

In other news, Hunter Pence left a Spring Training game with a bruised knee, but thinks the injury isn’t serious. It is nice to see him hustle and try to slide at the plate, but it is only Spring Training and we can’t afford to lose anymore of the team!
