What else can be more pleasurable than returning home? Jason Jennings anticipates he has found a home with the Houston Astros, and not just because they play in the state where he grew up and went to college.
Jason Jennings
The Astros acquired the 28-year-old right-hander in a deal with Colorado to fill the No. 2 spot in their pitching rotation, vacated when Andy Pettitte left for the New York Yankees. Jason Jennings has spent his complete Major League career as a pitcher in the Coors Field, and unlike others who have tried before him, the right-hander actually had a good run of success in his mile-high surroundings.
So when the Astros acquired Jennings in last week’s trade that sent three well-regarded players to Denver, they were sure that they were getting someone who had a very good chance to grow at Minute Maid Park.
