I know they aren't the best but I really enjoy watching this squad so far.

Nice start to the year. Astros didn't win many close ones last year, so its great to win one from behind today. Plus Bud was great other than one mistake.

The Astros have claimed free-swinging outfielder Justin Maxwell off waivers from the New York Yankees, general manager Jeff Luhnow announced on Sunday.

The 6-foot-5, 235-pound Maxwell has a .201 average with nine home runs and 83 strikeouts in 219 at-bats in the majors. Luhnow said Maxwell will report to the team Monday, at which point the Astros will make a corresponding roster move. The Astros have carried only four position players on the bench in the first three games, making it highly likely they will pare the pitching staff from 13 to 12 when Maxwell arrives.

Maxwell, 28, spent 2011 at Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and put up a .260/.358/.588 batting line in 177 at-bats, bashing 16 home runs and driving in 35. A fourth-round draft choice by the Washington Nationals in 2005, the righthanded Maxwell has a career .261/.357/.457 career line in the minors, with 74 home runs, 231 walks and 517 strikeouts in 1,703 at-bats.

He has played all three outfield spots, getting most of his time in the minors and majors in center field. The acquisition of Maxwell, whom the Yankees designated for assignment on Wednesday, sets the Astros’ 40-man roster at 39.

While he does strike out a lot, it'll be nice having a power right handed bat on the bench to pinch hit or to make occasional starts in the outfield against lefties. For the Astros, there's really no downside to picking up Maxwell to see what he can do. For us Aggies, the downside is that it pushes Ruggiano further down the pecking order and makes a call-up less likely.

Ruggiano is going to be better this year if they give him a chance.
