Max Stassi acquired by Astros
Max Stassi - C - Houston Astros
Feb. 4, 2013 - 6:30 PM ET

Astros acquired C Max Stassi from the Athletics in a five-player trade.

Stassi, who will turn 22 next month, batted .268/.331/.468 with 15 homers at the High-A level last season. He has above-average power for a catcher and could eventually be the Astros' regular backstop. He's obviously not close to being big league-ready, though.
