Here's Ben Badler with a report that the Astros have signed 17-year old LHP Junior Garcia out of the Dominican Republic for $200,000.
The link takes you to the free write-up, but Garcia currently throws 86-88mph with an apparently decent curve.
The $200,000 comes out of the Astros' $2.9m bonus pool for international signings in 2012/13.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
