Astros sign Cruz Jr. to minor league contract Three others sign minor league deals Jose Cruz Jr., the son of former Astros left fielder and current first base coach Jose Cruz, was signed to a minor league contract by the Astros today with an invitation to major league spring training. Cruz, a former standout at Bellaire High School and Rice University, hit .234 with six homers and 21 RBIs in 91 games this year with San Diego and played all three outfield positions. In his 11 years in the majors, he’s played for Seattle, Toronto, San Francisco, Tampa Bay, Arizona, Boston and the Los Angeles Dodgers. “When I took the job and went downstairs to say hello to ‘Cheo,’ one of the first things he asked is ‘What are the chances of getting my son to come play here?’†Astros general manager Ed Wade said. “I said we’ll look into itk and we were able to get something done in a Triple-A deal and give him a chance to earn a job with our club. We’ll add him to the mix. “There were different points in the time in the course of Jose Jr.’s career he was viewed as one of the top outfielders in the game and in high demand. He’s a veteran with some experience and a little bit of age on him, but he’s still the type of guy that in the right setting can contribute. We’ll give him every opportunity to make the club out of spring training.†The Astros also signed infielders Kevin Hooper and Tomas Perez and lefthander Stephen Randolph to minor-league deals with spring training invites. Cruz, Jr., 33, is a career .248 hitter with 204 home runs, 623 RBIs, and 113 stolen bases. He is one of 18 active outfielders to record at least 200 career home runs and 100 stolen bases in his career. Hooper, 30, played in 60 games with Class AAA Toledo this year and hit .301 with one home run and 19 RBIs. He appeared in 52 games at second base and eight games at shortstop. Hooper played in 14 games with Detroit from 2005-06, hitting .125 in only eight at-bats. Perez, 33, split last season between Class AAA Las Vegas and Class AAA Charlotte and combined to hit .254 with six home runs and 56 RBIs. Following a midseason trade from the Dodgers to the White Sox, Perez appeared in 88 games at Charlotte, serving as the club’s primary shortstop. Perez, an 11-year major league veteran and switch-hitter, owns a .240 career average with 24 home runs and 180 RBIs in 781 games with Toronto (1995-98), Philadelphia (2000-05) and Tampa Bay (2006). Randolph, 33, made 14 appearances for the Astros last season, finishing 0-1 with a 12.15 ERA. He was 10-2 record with four saves and a 1.90 ERA in 31 games at Class AAA Round Rock. In three Major League seasons with Arizona (2003-04) and Houston (2007), Randolph is 10-7 with a 5.52 ERA. [email protected]

[Hidden Content] U.S. ARMY ALL-AMERICAN BOWL SELECTS NEDERLAND HIGH SCHOOL STANDOUT LINEBACKER DRAVANNTI JOHNSON Johnson Earns Elite Status Nederland, TX (November 28, 2007) – Dravannti Johnson of Nederland High School, Nederland, TX has been selected to play in the 2008 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, the premier high school football game that connects the strengths of the nation’s top players with those of Army Strong Soldiers. Johnson will join an elite group of student-athletes selected to play in the eighth annual U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Saturday, January 5, 2008 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. This classic East vs. West match-up will be televised live on NBC at 1:00 PM EST and will feature the nation’s top 84 high school football players. “Dravannti represents the same strengths and values of my fellow U.S. Army Soldiers, including loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage,†said Colonel David Lee, Director of Strategic Communications, Marketing and Outreach for the U.S. Army Accessions Command. “He has demonstrated a commitment to excellence on the field, and we are proud to recognize him as an U.S. Army All-American.†“Johnson comes off the edge with strength and purpose. He is a solid athletic player who always seems to be around the ball. He can stuff the run but also makes a lot of tackles downfield,†said Tom Lemming who is one of the nation's leading experts on college football recruiting. Johnson, a standout linebacker at Nederland High School was one of 400 players nominated nationally and then ultimately selected by the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee. The Selection Committee consists of Tom Lemming, Rivals.com and SportsLink. As a U.S. Army All-American, Johnson is eligible for the following honors: U.S. Army Player of the Year Award, Walter Payton Trophy and the Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard U.S. Army Awards. As part of being selected to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, Head Coach Larry Nuemann is invited to travel to San Antonio compliments of the U.S. Army and attend the U.S. Army Coaches Academy, an elite two-day learning experience featuring NFL and NCAA coaches, and to participate in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl game week activities. Since its inception, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl has been considered the nation’s premier All-American game by high school football players, coaches, and fans from across the country, as it’s the preeminent launching pad for America’s future college and NFL stars. HoopInsider Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Adrian Peterson and Brady Quinn all made their national debuts as U.S. Army All-Americans. Last year the U.S. Army All-American Bowl set its own attendance record, as 35,151 fans attended the game at the Alamodome.
