Astros sign LaTroy Hawkins

The Astros signed LaTroy Hawkins to a one year deal following his fantastic half-season with Houston. He signed for $3.5 mil + incentives. The 36 yr. old posted had a .43 ERA in 21 IP with the 'Stros, and while he is unlikely to post anything like that again, Hawkins is good for 65 IP with a 3.50 ERA. Good signing for the 'Stros who should put out a fairly competitive team this season.
