Today in Astros history - January 27
1992 - Astros go on a spending spree
In something rare for the Astros, the team signed four free agents this offseason, pitchers Joe Boever and Rob Murphy and infielders Ernest Riles and Denny Walling. Murphy and Riles didn’t do much for the team in the short time they were there, but Boever, in his one year with the Astros was great, leading the team in appearances (81) with a 2.51 ERA.
Walling on the other hand was coming back to the team for one last victory tour after spending 13 years with the club where he amassed 125 doubles, 345 RBIs and left with a .277 batting average.
