Astros say goodbye to Alan Ashby
Did anyone else see this coming?
Alan Ashby, who played 11 years for the Astros and worked in the broadcast booth for eight years, was told today that he will not be retained by the team for the 2006 season.
The Astros announced that they had hired two veteran minor league announcers, Brett Dolan and Dave Raymond, to work together on Astros road games and to split analyst duties with Milo Hamilton during home games.

“I was informed the ball club was not of the opinion that I should be their lead broadcaster and that they had determined they wanted to go in an entirely new direction and that, therefore, I was being let go,” Ashby said. “I was completely caught off guard and am devastated by the decision.”
That's a shame -- I really enjoyed listening to him.
