A.J. Hinch was hired as the manager of the Astros on Monday, and general manager Jeff Luhnow is confident he'll be the man to return Houston to success. "I think A.J. is going to be the manager that's going to be here when we win the World Series," Luhnow said. Hinch takes over for Bo Porter, who was fired Sept. 1 in his second year and replaced on an interim baseis by Tom Lawless. The Astros finished 70-92 and fourth in the AL West. Houston has been in a long rebuilding process and hasn't finished above .500 since going 86-75 in 2008. Read more http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11613880/houston-astros-hire-aj-hinch-new-manager
