Baseball Betting Lines

01/25/2007 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Astros signed Morgan Ensberg to a one-year, $4.35 million contract on Thursday, avoiding salary arbitration with the veteran third baseman.

Ensberg hit .235 last season to go along with 23 home runs and 58 runs batted in. He posted a .392 on-base percentage and drew a career-best 101 walks, becoming the first third baseman in team history to draw 100 or more free passes in a season.

The highlight of the season for Ensberg came in April, as he hit nine home runs over the course of the month, including a franchise-record six consecutive games from April 25-21.

In 2005, he made the National League All-Star squad for the first time in his career while becoming the first Astros third baseman to hit 30 or more home runs in a season. Combined with 101 RBI, Ensberg's totals set franchise records for a third baseman in both categories.

The 31-year-old Ensberg is a career .270 hitter with 97 home runs and 304 RBI in 588 games over a six-season stretch.
