Back to Houston
Mike Hampton will return to the Houston Astros, pending a physical. I'm not sure this really improves the Astros rotation. We don't know the money yet, but I assume Hampton's salary is low enough that it's worth the risk of him breaking down again.
2M + incentives and/or bonus; nice deal for the Astros, based on money; I like how this gives them a decent option to start over AAA scrubs.
Wow, I haven't been this excited since Sammy Sosa returned to the Rangers!
