Here is what you would probably enjoy knowing on this absolutely freezing morning.
*Fantastic read from the Crawfish Boxes on the Great Delino DeShields Debate
*Baseball America wonders if the 16-30 Astros prospects in 2014 are better than the 1-15 Astros prospects in 2010.
*Jim Callis says the Correa/Appel tandem is the best hitter/pitcher prospect combo in baseball.
*Jesse Crain is about ten days away from beginning his throwing regimen
*Jim Crane told reporters in OKC that the Astros may extend their PDC with Oklahoma City (it expires following this season). Crane:
We've made it clear as an organization we'd like to own our Triple-A
team, but right now there's nothing in the works. Our team
is here ... We like this market. This is a great ballpark and these
folks (Mandalay) do a great job.
*The Oklahoman posted an interview with Roger Clemens.
*This is what happens when Fantasy Writers don't really know much about a team.
*Bud Norris told Orioles101 that he is grateful to be in Baltimore, and "was very blessed and thankful for my time in Houston but losing 100+
games 4 seasons in a row was very hard on me, the team, coaches, and the
city." (Ed. Note: Four seasons in a row?)
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
