As reported by the triumvirate of Astros newsbreakers Houston has removed five more from the major league roster this morning. Infielders Angel Sanchez, Scott Moore, and Brian Bixler have been reassigned to minor league camp, infielder Joe Thurston was released, and pitcher Enerio Del Rosario was optioned to the minor leagues.
Once you factor in the pending move to the DL for Sergio Escalona, that leaves 33 in camp fighting for 25 spots.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
