In related news, the Houston Astros have resigned Brad Ausmus to a one year deal reportedly worth $113,000 and first dibs on a used Rolex if he hits above the Mendoza line. Phuck!
:huh: dude's not amazing. but he is a serviceable backup catcher. Most backup catchers go 0-4 with 4 K's and are marginal defensive players. He at least is a good defensive catcher.
Smoltz should be a good signing. Not sure how he'll fit into the regular rotation. Baldelli must be insure for the inevitable vag pull that Drew will suffer during the regular season
i am torn about this Smoltz thing. Emotion tells me that I want to hope for him to be injured in spring training so he can just retire. But I can see why he left the Braves as they are a sinking ship as long as that phuck-wad Wren is the GM. (you Astros who whine about your GM need to look at Frank Wren's resume). So I am still torn on this one.
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk in honor of naked gun 2.5
I've always like Smoltz. Gonne be a lil weird seeing him in a different uni. I really hope this works out for him and he gets another ring :wink:
