Player Profile: Matt Albers

I have one card of Matt Albers, from 2012 Topps Update Set.

Playing career: Matt Albers came up with the Astros in 2006, and has pitched in 364 games, mostly in relief, for five different teams – Houston, Baltimore, Boston, Arizona and Cleveland. He is 25-31 with a 4.42 ERA for his career.

Where he is now: He is back with the Astros in 2014. In eight games he has allowed one earned run in ten innings but is currently on the disabled list.

My memories: Only know him from his card.

Google Autocomplete results: He is tenth when you type Matt Alb, behind Matt Albie, a TV character. There do not appear to be any other prominent Matt Alberses.

Coming up next: The next profile will be Brian Bixler.
