There is no justice. Your brightest thoughts will get trashed, and they will all love some stupid stuff you just throw off. Just write what you like. The small minds can’t influence you. :-)

And Laird is only 24 yrs old who is a decent fielder

There’s no justice around here.

His theme song should be “Round and Round.”

Otherwise, he doesn’t fit the profile of what they need so much as the profile of what they already have. Replacement to league average. Curiously, he batted exactly .254 in Baltimore and Houston. But little or no power.

Wonder what the cash considerations are? Hopefully, they are about 50 million$ or so and the Astros can buy a team.

Before NY fans get too excited, may be worth mentioning that was with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees!
