The Astros have officially hired Bo Porter to be their manager starting in 2013. Porter, who is currently the third base coach for the Nationals, will finish out the season with them and join Houston when the season is over.Porter has no managing experience at the big league level, and has served as the Nats' third base coach for the last two years. He served as Kirk Gibson's interim bench coach also when he was in the Diamondbacks' organization.
Houston fired manager Brad Mills last month and have had interim manager Tony DeFrancesco calling the shots ever since.
Analysis: I like this signing by the Astros. Porter has gotten into several incidents with the Nationals this season, and definitely has a fiery attitude. I'm not concerned with the fact that he has no managing experience, because hey, everyone has to start somewhere right?
