Porter wants Astros to run often this season
Tyler Greene - SS - Houston Astros

Astros manager Bo Porter wants his team to be hyper-aggressive on the basepaths in 2013 in hopes of creating a competitive edge.
The lineup isn't filled with burners, but guys like Tyler Greene and Justin Maxwell could benefit from having the perpetual green light. Greene, 29, is competing for the starting shortstop job, a role Porter has said he would like to give to one player in lieu of a platoon situation. If Greene ends up earning the lion's share of playing time there, he could be a cheap source of stolen bases in deep fantasy leagues.
