CultureMap Houston has a recap of the day's events at Minute Maid Park. Among the highlights...
On the team:
"We believe we have the talent in the organization to win any series. Most publications are picking us to finish dead last in the Central and 29th or 30th (out of 30 teams) in all of the Majors. But I think we're going to surprise some people."
On Jordan Schafer:
"He's definitely one you can dream on becoming a Jacoby Ellsbury-type player - A guy who can hit home runs and steal bases."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
