And just one more thing: Astros

It's two-for-Thursday!!! Kevin Czerwinski's got his Astros preview up as well. Here's his "extra man."

Robert Bono, RHP: Though the Astros mostly stuck to the Commissioner's slot Rbono_1recommendation -- and caught grief about it from their fans -- they did give a six-figure bonus to Robert Bono, last year's 12th-round selection. The right-handed pitcher also caught in his school but Houston decided it would be best if he stayed on the mound instead of behind the plate. That said, he posted a 7.34 ERA in 34 Appy League innings last year. But he's got a nice curve, which is his signature pitch, and that could carry him far. Where he'll be to start this season remains a mystery but you too can see Bono at some point this year and see if he has any edge. Aw c'mon, you saw that comin' didn't you?
