Astros ink Chacon

We now know what winning two arbitration cases can land a team.

One year of Shawn Chacon.

At least if you're the Houston Astros.

Houston inked the longtime swingman to a one-year deal Wednesday using its savings from winning arbitration cases with Jose Valverde and Mark Loretta.

Houston had better hope it lands the Chacon from his first season with the Yankees and not the last couple with the Pirates.
