“Defensively, outside of that, he’s
pretty solid.
“Offensively, he’s got a good
approach. He uses the whole field.
He’ll get better with pitch recogni-
tion, knowing the pitchers and how
they’re going to pitch to him.
“He’s got a chance to be a pretty
good hitter.”
Towles, 6-2 and. 195 pounds, /'
spent a couple of weeks in the fall
in the Arizona league before the
club figured out he didn’t need the
seasoning and brought him home.
After some holiday hunting trips,
Towles has been working out regu-
larly at Minute Maid, getting ready
for camp.
“I’m taking it that I’m trying to
earn a spot,” he said. “I don’t think
anything is set in stone. Everybody
wants a starting job.
“I’m just going in, trying to earn
it, take it one day at a time and if
I’m not there, I’m going to work
hard to get there.”

pinch himself? He’s got to increase his arm
“Not really,” he said. “It’s one of strength.
Towles spent 10 weeks in Corpus those things that’s hard to explain.
Christi in all, batting .324 with 11
home runs and 49 RBIs in 61
games.

it,’ and a week or twc later, we
decided to keep him there, and he
never looked back,” Bennett
recalled.
Towles was promoted to Triple A
Round Rock in mid-August, where
he hit .279 in 13 games. Then the
Astros added him to their major
league roster as a September call-
up.
Little used early in September,
he finished with a flurry, going 4
for 4 with eight RBIs in one mem-
orable game at St. Louis.
“It doesn’t happen very often,
but we always knew he had the tal-
ent,” Bennett said.
“It always comes down to how
they handle adversity. That’s
whether it’s going to Double A, or
Triple A, or even to the big
leagues. And he handled it well.”
So, when J.R.’s answering the

“Everything happened so fast.
I’m thinking (at first) I’m so far
‘I told Tim ‘Let’s keep looking at away from the big leagues, and it

“Now it’s good going to spring
training this year knowing they
know what I can do.”
Towles is leaving next Tuesday
for the Astros’ spring training base
in Kissimmee, Fla., where the
pitchers and catchers begin work-
ing out a week from today.
“(Brad) Ausmus is going to be
the backup catcher and Humberto
Quintero and J.R. will compete for
the No. 1 spot,” Bennett said.
Ausmus, 38, will be starting his
16th major league season. He has
made it clear that his reason for
coming back this season is to tutor
his successor.
“We want J.R. to continue to
gain experience,” Bennett said.
“He’s got great ability. He’s a very
good blocker. One of the things he

day. Jones (6-1,190) is one of six
quarterbacks that have committed to
West Point, according to Rivals.com,
but should be able to find playing time
with his athleticism. Jones saw time at
quarterback as well as receiver and
punter this season.
“Josh is a good athlete that can play
a lot of positions,” Olin said. “That
became evident this year.”
Also signing football letters of intent
on Wednesday were Crosby’s Kedy
Enabulele (Navarro Junior College),
Dayton’s Ford Smesny (McNeese
State) and Paul Fontenot (Texas A&M-
Kingsville). Sterling defensive back

ter of intent with
Texas State. The 6-1,

tackle made statewide
news when he was
released from his
commitment to SMU
by incoming head
coach June Jones.
Gray (6-1, 230) was a second team
all-district selection at linebacker but
harbors hopes of returning to the
defensive line where the typical Falcon
lineman averages 6-5, 260.
“They said they will take a look at
me and see where I fit in,” Gray said.
Gray and his family left the signing.

Colorado Springs where Gray would
get his first look at the campus.
“Anthony did a real good job for us
this year” Olin said. “It was his first
year to play up instead of on the
defensive line and he had to learn a
new defense. Going to a military acad- °f Mines today,
emy is something that I have always
been up for and he will have a lot of
opportunities.”
The military academies are unable to
release their commitment list until stu-
dents arrive in the summer for orienta-
tion.
