Somehow I missed the Astros signing Shawn Chacon this week for $2 million. Chacon basically moves from the Pirates to the Astros.
It seems like a good signing. Chacon will be 30 this season, but he’s shown success in the past in both starting and relieving roles. Of course, he’s had moments of suckage, too. In fact, like Star Trek movies, he seems to alternate between good years and bad years. Too bad he wasted his good year in Pittsburgh. Well, I guess he didn’t exactly waste it. 😉
I like Obi-Shawn, even if he’s one of those pitchers who’s scared to throw strikes.
Another former Yankee pitcher, Ron Villone, was signed by the Cardinals on the same day.
BubbaFan, I hope you’ll continue to stick around now that Bubba’s in Seattle. It’s refreshing to the the Yankee’s point of view on NLC deals.
