The Astros signed Hidalgo to a 4 year contract with a club option for a 5th year. This is good news as they have him wrapped up through 2005. No financial terms yet. ------------------
Financial terms announced: 4 years, $32 million with a club option for a 5th that could make the contract worth $45 million. wow! ------------------ I am very very sleepy.
Good signing, but at $8 mil a year? I guess it's better to lock him up now than let him slip away. ------------------ Go vote for Steve Francis for the All-Star game!! You only have until Sunday!! Vote for Francis!
A couple of more years like last year and he would be into Manny Ramirez type money. If he continues to produce as he has, 9 million a year will be a bargain (man, I can't believe I just typed that). ------------------
One of the top future players in baseball. Get him locked up! Now enough spending on hitters, get some ****en pitchers! ------------------ President of the Moochie Norris fan club.
Very smart move ------------------ When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view. -- Ella Wheeler Wilcox
WOOOHOO! ------------------ Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!
