    I can't list the guys that existed before me. Caminiti was the 3B when I started watching baseball.

    Now, I did leave off Chris Truby, Sean Berry, and Billy Spiers.

    I'm told by Buck that Aubrey Huff would have been the best Astros 3B ever... if not for BABIP.

    I don't remember him at all. What a great season and lengthy career for the name not to ring a bell.

    One thing that could make Houston more attractive than Boston for him, is that we can point out that he'd get plenty of time at LF (meaning Marwin can go back to his role as super utility man), unlike Boston, who reportedly wants to use him as the DH only. That seems to be a major reason as to why he doesn't seem to want to sign with Boston.

    Not sure if he has gotten over the whole getting cut thing. That, and getting cut again.

    I'm not gonna not share Jon Heyman getting roasted. What a twerp. Love that Donaldson called him out.
