Woody Williams-S- Astros Nov. 24 - 5:30 pm et


Astros signed RHP Woody Williams, who had been with the Padres, to a two-year, $12.5 million contract.

The Astros are nothing if not predictable. We don't have a problem with this signing. Sure, Williams would have been better for one year than two, but it looks like every free agent will get at least one extra year this winter. The trouble with Williams is that his innings count has fallen every year lately, dropping to 145 2/3 last season. Also, he's not someone a team can have a lot of confidence in come playoff time. In an NL Central filled with mediocre, right-handed heavy lineups, he should post a pretty good ERA when healthy. The Padres will get a supplemental first-rounder and the Astros' second-round pick for losing him.

An aging pitcher throwing junk with Carlos Lee playing defense behind him?

That spells trouble...

With Cubs & 'Stros leaking oil like this, it's already been a decent start to the offseason for the Cards & Brewers.
