Outfielder Jordan Comadena (pictured), who played for the Madison Mallards from 2005 to 2007 and went undrafted out of Purdue last spring, was signed this week by the Houston Astros as a free agent heading into the '09 season.
Comadena owns Mallards team career batting records in runs scored (119) and walks (89), and single-season records in runs scored (54), walks (54), and at-bats (259). He also remains the only player in the franchise's eight years to have played all 68 games when he reached that mark in 2006.
