Baseball Betting Lines
08/23/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Astros announced a four-year extension of the player development contract with the Corpus Christi Hooks, the team's Double-A affiliate.
The new agreement runs through the 2016 season.
"Corpus Christi has been an integral part of our player development system since 2005, and the fan base that has grown in that area since then is just as important as the growth our players have had while at the Double-A level," said Astros assistant general manager Ricky Bennett."
The franchise has been affiliated with the Astros since 1991, although it has moved twice while with Houston. After being affiliated with the Mets from 1968-90, the Jackson Generals began in 1991 before moving to Round Rock in 2000. In 2005, the Express moved to Corpus Christi and became the Hooks.
The Hooks won the Eastern League title in 2006.
