'Stros get El Caballo (and Williams too)

Sure $100 million is a heck of a lot of cash, but in this market doesn't seem increadibly nuts (ala Matthews Jr at $50 mil or Pierre at $45 mil). Bottom line - the 'Stros made a couple of great deals for the team! :spin: Berkman now will have some protection in the lineup and maybe the new "instant offense" from Lee will convince Pettitte and Clemens to give it another go. We shall see!!!

WOW
Awesome job, 'Stros. . . just keeping hitting Biggio at the top of the order so that Berkman and Lee have no one on when they come up. .

Not to worry, Bigg is only a .201 hitter the second half of the season (and at $12 mil I expect Woody'll be pinch hitting for him alot in that second half :D ).
As for Clemens and Pettitte, I think it is both or neither - its looking pretty possible that Pettitte may simply retire (in which case I think Clemens goes to Boston or retires himself...).
