Hunter Pence Spring Training Update
After going without a hit in the spring training opener, our own Hunter Pence has bounced back with two nice outings for the Houston Astros. He’s now 3-for-8 with a double and an RBI. On the field, he has spent all of his time in right field.
As the Astros prepare for the 2008 season, manager Cecil Cooper has labeled Pence as one of the franchise’s most important players. Pence told the Houston Chronicle that he doesn’t mind the added pressure.
“It’s good to hear; it’s not a burden,” said Pence. “What he says and what he expects, I probably expect a lot more out of myself than anybody.”
On Sunday, the Astros play split-squad games on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals. We will update you on Hunter’s performance after the games.
