| Astros opt to waive struggling Cruz: The Astros waived outfielder Jose Cruz on Friday night and called up outfielder Reggie Abercrombie from Triple-A Round Rock. Cruz, 34, signed a minor-league contract with the Astros last November. He secured a roster spot during spring training but hit only .122 (6-for-49) in 38 games this season. Cruz is the son of Astros first base coach Jose Cruz, who played for Houston from 1975-87. (Updated 06/07/2008) |

| Cruz is also a close friend of Astros manager Cecil Cooper, and Cooper was upset the team had to make the move. "Very difficult," Cooper said. "Jose and I go back a long ways. I have a lot of respect for him, a lot of respect for his family. It just didn't work out for us." Cruz has some power but hasn't made an impact in Fantasy in several years. Ignore him in all leagues. (Updated 06/07/2008). |
