Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker announced he is stepping down today.
Longtime assistant Tim Purpura will assume the job immediately.
Hunsicker says he will remain as an advisor next season. One can’t help but wonder how long it will be before he moves on to a club without the budget constraints imposed by Drayton McLane.
(Update) Tom Kirkendall’s review of Hunsicker’s tenure is better than anything that will appear in the Chronicle tomorrow, AND has the virtue of being more timely.
