]]> With word breaking last night that San Francisco Giants All Star closer, Brian Wilson, would be needing surgery that would end his 2012 season, Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweeted that the Astros have been shopping closer Brett Myers and the Giants were believed to have some level of interest.

]]> Today, the BBWA will elect the Hall of Fame class for 2012 but it will probably not bring good news for Astros’ fans. Jeff Bagwell will be on the ballot but, as most already know, the chances of an election for Baggy is slim to none.
