Travis Buck elects to part ways with the Houston Astros
28-year old lefty swinging outfielder Travis Buck has elected to leave the Astros as a free agent. Buck played in 33 games for the Astros this year and he was 16 for 74 (.216 avg, .595 OPS) with 7 runs scored, 0 homers and 6 RBIs. He has now played in 253 games in his first six years in the majors and he is 197 of 810 (.243 avg, .715 OPS) with 99 runs scored, 20 homers, 95 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. This is not much of a loss moving forward for the Astros.
