It's good for credibility. However, in Brian McTaggart's blog today, he mentions visiting with both Easy Eddie and Run-DMc.
Don't get your hopes up about Ben Sheets and Andy Pettitte (okay, I'm responsibe for the hope-raising of Andy Pettitte). A few snippets:
"They have plugged the holes with Mike Hampton, Jason Michaels and Aaron Boone, but won't be offering up any contracts to big-time free agents any time soon."
"Wade said the Astros would still like to find a utility infielder who could play shortstop."
Would that be a player similar to...say...Mark Loretta?
Ah well. Stay tuned. I'll get another idea soon.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
