Whitt also confirmed on Thursday that Canadian infielder Stubby Clapp will again come out of retirement to be a player on the team. Clapp, who played for the Edmonton Cracker-Cats and briefly for the St. Louis Cardinals, is now a hitting coach for one of the Astros' Minor League affiliates. However, he came out of retirement this summer to be on the Canadian Olympic team and also played in the 2006 Classic.

Whitt said that he has also reached out to former Canadian players as he looks to finalize his staff. Whitt has offered invitations to former slugger Larry Walker and former reliever Paul Quantrill to serve as coaches, though the exact capacity of their positions has not yet been announced.
