Washed up!! You probably said the same thing about Nolan. I don't understand people that don't understand greatness. Bagwell is the exception. His greatness causes him to still be a competitor, which...

Does the insurance claim address Jeff's $7 million 2007 buyout?

It is the right move for the Astros to make. Baseball is a business, pure and simple... It is just too damn bad that the deadline for filing the claim is end of January... oh well. Bagwell shouldn't...

The quote was that Roger was the one that was washed up.Which is why I gave the Nolan ref.Baggy is nowhere near what he was and could be considered washed up, howbeit only because of injury.

Sounds like Bagwell thinks he can play and management thinks he can't, which makes them filing a claim seem logical. Why can't Jeff just throw a baseball to Drayton and Tim Purpura for awhile?...

Doesn't matter if someone thinks he's worth it or not; lots of big league ballplayers AREN'T worth the money they're getting paid, or will get paid. The Astros knew they back-loaded most of their...

Quote: I don't see this as the Astros giving Bagwell the boot either, or that this signals the end. They'll still give him his due, and he'll probably start the season on the Injured Reserve list,...

Err, this whole situation jus gets under my skin! When I hear that the Astros "owe" Bagwell something, all I can think of is 85 million dollars. Bags got the bank breaking contract BECAUSE he was the...

I have to side with Mr. McLane on this one. He is making a judgment that could help the team -- provided, of course, that he doesn't just pocket the money.If Jeff truly can't throw a ball to second...

We're only a couple of weeks away from Spring Training and Jeff has no idea as to whether or not he's going to be able to play or not. If he wants to come back so bad, why not wait it out till next...
