Darin Erstad signs with Houston

Former Halo Hero Darin Erstad signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Houston Astros today.

Erstad spent last season with the Chicago White Sox and hit .248 in 87 games. In 12 seasons (11 with the Angels), he had a .284 career batting average.

He will be used as a left-handed pinch hitter for Houston. Erstad replaces former Angels teammate, Orlando Palmeiro who was not offered a contract by Houston.
