[Astros.com] A possible return of Hampton?

signed Doug Drabek, and Greg Swindell.

no thanks.


John Garland and Derek Lowe.

 

i'd take him on a short, relatively cheap deal with games-started incentives..

 

I'm fine with Garland, but Lowe would be Woody Williams pt. 2 in Minute Maid.

 

Were the Atlanta Schools not good enough?

 

hahaha nice..

 

Ben Sheet and Mike Hampton.

Hampton in an incentive laden deal.

Oswalt
Sheet
Hampton
Wandy
Wolf or Moehler

I like this rotation.

 

how bout Sheets, Garland, and Hampton?

 

No thanks. He sucks. He's always injured.

 

huge fan of his in New York

 

I just can't wait to get another guy in the rotation with an ERA approaching 5.

 

Lowe is known as a groundball pitcher, so I don't see how he'd be compared to Woody.

 

I think it was one of the reasons he gave.

Of course, the rumor I always heard about Hampton leaving was that either he had slept with Biggio's wife, or Biggio had slept with Hampton's wife and each wanted the other gone. Of course Biggio won that battle. Could very well be total bull**** but I always thought it was interesting.

 

I always thought it was Bagwell's ex-wife.

 

He's a diminishing old guy who's had his statistics skewed by pitching in a great pitcher's park.

 

I think it had more to do with Drayton not wanting to shell out for a contract that his 22-4 2.90 ERA season commanded.

 

Sheets would be nice...but of course Sabathia would be great (WAY out of our price range after what he's done in Milwaukee)

 

Could have been. I can't even remember where I heard that rumor.

 

It was Bagwell's ex-wife.

Now she is spending her time with Travis Knight, the former basketball player.
