I almost feel bad for 40-year old first time major league manager Bo Porter. Porter was with the Nationals as a coach the last two years, so he was around winning….but I don’t think that will matter in 2013. He has been a major league coach for the last six years, but nothing has taught him about the buzzsaw he’s going to step into as the new manager of the Houston Astros. The Astros were the worst team is baseball last year and they are moving from the weak N.L. Central to the tough as nails A.L. West. The Astros did very little to improve the roster in 2013, so look for Porter to take a lot of lumps this year. The Astros just hope that he learns from them and grows along with the team.
