Keep your eye on Michael Bourne

The Houston Astros don't have much to brag about this year. They are most likely going to end up in third or fourth place, and there is a possibility they could even end up in the basement. However, there is one bright spot on their roster - Michael Bourne, who has stolen 6 bases already, without being caught once, and he did this while in a batting slump - He has hit just 190. Signs are now that he slump has ended. In his first at bat today, Bourne hit a home run - Sorry, no steal there.

Could Michael Bourne be the one to break Ricky Henderson's single season stolen base record of 130? I know, it's early, but Bourne will be worth watching this season.
