This is a 2009 photo of Houston Astros pitcher Brandon Backe(notes) during baseball spring training in Kissimmee, Fla. The Astros placed right-hander Backe on waivers Monday, June 29, 2009. The 31-year-old, who has no record with a 10.38 ERA in 13 innings for the Astros this season, rejected an assignment to Triple-A Round Rock. He will likely become a free-agent and receive all of his $1.5 million salary after three days.
