HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The Astros organization is expected to announce its pick for manager this morning. A press conference is scheduled for ten. Owner and Chairman Jim Crane, GM Jeff Luhnow and team President George Postolos will all be in attendance.
Nationals third base coach Bo Porter is expected to get the job. The Houston resident should finish the season in Washington before taking up the reins. The Astros' young team has struggled but management hopes to be in contention in a few years.
"We don't want to hire someone to just be here for one phase of it. We want someone who can grow with the players, grow with the organization and help us sustain success once we get there," said Luhnow.
Management had a short list of nine possible coaches.
