The Astros agreed to terms Saturday with first-round draft pick Jason Castro, the catcher who helped Stanford reach the recent College World Series. The 20-year-old batted .376 with 14 home runs and 73 RBIs in 67 games last season. Before his junior season, he played in the Cape Cod Summer League in 2007 and batted .341 with 24 RBIs to earn a spot in the league’s All-Star game.
