Astros make sentimental signing that may help solve a lingering issue

The name Biggio undoubtedly reminds Houston Astros fans of one of the greatest players in franchise history. Craig Biggio was a seven-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger, four-time Gold Glove Award-winner, and a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. His son, Cavan, is now part of the Astros organization and is hoping to break camp with the big-league club this spring.

The Astros signed Cavan Biggio to a minor-league deal with a non-roster invite to spring training. Cavan has not had anywhere close to the Major League career that his father had, but he's been a solid player over his seven-year career.
