Houston Astros future roster

[AJ25]

We could be (hopefully) looking at some major changes to the Astros lineup in 2012..

[u]Players who's contract ends this season[/u]
Hunter Pence
Michael Bourn
Clint Barmes
Jeff Keppinger
Humberto Quintero
Jason Michaels
JA Happ
Jeff Fulchino
Wilton Lopez
Alberto Arias
Bud Norris
Chris Johnson
JR Towles
Angel Sanchez
Jason Bourgeois
Jason Castro
Matt Downs
Mark Melancon
Brett Wallace
Fernando Abad
Enerio Del Rosario
Wes Wright
Jordan Lyles
Tommy Manzella
Aneury Rodriguez

All of these players were signed under [b]one[/b] year contracts. Many of whom I assume will not be back next season... Jason Michaels, Fernando Abad, Wesley Wright, Clint Barmes, and Jeff Keppinger.

I think this poses an excellent opportunity to trade Pence and Keppinger. Both will cost you a lot of money next season (obviously not as much for Keppinger), and both will bring back good trade value. Continue to unload, Houston. Continue to unload.

When does El Cafatso's contract expire?

I believe this year as well. Both Lee and Myers are on until 2012 which sucks big time... And Wandy until 2013.

Those are the only 3 players on extended contracts over multiple years.
