Author: Tyler Maher May 01, 2024 In this story: Houston Astros MLB Victor Caratini For most of April, the Houston Astros couldn't do anything right.

The reigning AL West champs quickly became acquainted with last place, falling to 7-19 after getting swept by the Chicago Cubs last week. For all of the Astros' constant misery during April, the skies finally seemed to clear for them at the end of the month. They dominated the Colorado Rockies in Mexico, earning their

12/07/23 The Astros get a new back-up catcher: Is this the best use of resources?. On December 5th, the Astros signed catcher Victor Caratini to a two year, $12 million dollar contract. Most Astros fans will be elated to not have to see Martin Maldonado take important plate appearances in 2024. Managers will always make sub-optimal decisions, but seeing Dusty Baker start Maldy in almost every playoff game last year was probably one of the most mind boggling decisions I've ever seen, and that is coming from a guy who has worked for the government. Adding Victor Caratini gives the Astros a lot of depth at backstop and allows the team to give Diaz more rest days than if they re-signed Maldy.
