If Volstad wants to avoid becoming the next Anthony Young, tonight's the best chance he will get for a W with the Stros in town. Our old friend Lucas Harrel stands in his way.

 

9-0 Houston. Volstad more than halfway there to becoming the new Anthony Young.

Holdover

 

Holdover that Ricketts extended last offseason before he hired Theo. The other holdover(Tom Wilkens) just got promoted to Special Asst to Hoyer

After seeing that Soriano said he had no interest in going to the Giants, and know that he turned down other trade opportunities, it makes me wonder... Is there something in the Old Style there? The fans don't care about winning, the players don't care about winning... It just amazes me that an awful baseball team, in an antique ballpark, has all of these players (such as Sori, Dempster, Wood, etc) who never want to leave.

Perhaps they prefer having most nights off? (apparently this is true for Castro). Not having to work the extra month in October might also be a perk.

Soriano has played in 2 world series. And lost both. I don't know if that's more or less motivation.

Phil Rodgers, "No team could use Soriano more than the Rays".

 

Rumor has it Detroit was interested at one time.
