Astros To Rely On Brett Wallace

The Astros are counting on outfielders Hunter Pence, who's hit 25 homers three years in a row, and Carlos Lee, who slumped to 24 homers last year, to pick up where they left off in the second half. Wade expects first baseman Brett Wallace, a power-hitter in the Minor Leagues, and catcher Jason Castro to acquire more punch.
