    We need a pitchers & catchers update from Joel. I know it's less than 2 weeks.

    To start things off, here's an article on Latroy Hawkins, a journeyman reliever (9 teams) with a mediocre career record, who just signed a minor league contract with the Mets. My son played against him when they both were 15 years old.....25 years ago. He's living proof that if you stay healthy can throw strikes, you can have a long career in MLB.

    I just saw that the Astro's entire major league roster salaries will total less than 20 million....I guess that's about a million per expected win this year....gonna be a long year. :cry: :cry:

    True story, at our golf get together this past weekend nobody knew a single member of the team and none of us could name the manager.

    re: Astros total payroll $20 million.

    Here in LaLaLand, the Dodgers pay the pool boy more than that...
