    Orlando Merced has been signed to a contract extension which will keep him with the Astros through the 2003 season. Financial terms were not disclosed.

    I'm glad we locked him up. He has been an important part of this club as well as being a good clubhouse guy. This is the 3rd siging the Astros have made this week (Viz, Grigsby, Merced). I guess Drayton isn't such a tightwad after all. :)

    Yea! I kept hearing Cubs guys saying they shouldn't have let him go. Glad we didn't.

    He's signed two bench players and our #1 pick. Wow... Drayton is really going all out. ;)

    It's a start, especially in the face of an unsure labor situation. :)

    By the way...as to your signature line...end of an inning. :D

    Actually, Refman, I would venture to say that the signature means...end of half-inning. :)
