The Houston Astros 2007 season has begun with the team trying to take the NL Central title back from the World Series winners, the St. Louis Cardinals, after they won it in 2005. They will have to do so without Jeff Bagwell, who retired after the Astros declined option on his contract for 2007, as well as future hall of fame pitchers Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte, who both filed for free agency on November 6. To make up for losing those key players, they signed outfielder Carlos Lee to a 6-year, $100 million contract, the richest in franchise history^[1], pitcher Woody Williams, and traded with the Colorado Rockies for Jason Jennings and Miguel Asencio.
