Dreaming of Alou
Although he declared it a dead issue, Phil Garner hasn't stopped thinking about San Francisco Giants slugger Moises Alou, whom many within the Astros organization would like to acquire for the pennant stretch.
"I'm sure we'll call up another catcher (when rosters expand)," Garner said. "We can call up a catcher and we can call up Alou. Excuse me. That's a dead issue."
Alou, a former Astros who still counts Jeff Bagwell as his best friend in baseball, tried to get a free-agent contract with the Astros last winter before signing a two-year deal to play for his father, Felipe , the Giants' manager.
