Yes, you read that right; the Astros have hired Ensberg to skipper one of their minor league affiliates. Honestly, it has been a move a long time coming when you think about it.
The one-time All-Star has held various coaching positions with Houston. Most recently, he was named the team’s first-ever minor league mindset coach.
