The Astros have purchased the contract of Rice alum and current Southern Maryland Blue Crab RHP Kenny Baugh.
The 30-year old Baugh was the 2001 WAC pitcher of the year and was a 1st Round draft pick by the Tigers in '01. He was 6-2 in his last eight starts, winning his last four starts in the independent Atlantic League.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
