Anyways, baseball news. The Astros signed two players this past week, outfielder Jason Michaels and corner infielder Aaron Boone. Michaels will supposedly be the 5th outfielder and Boone will start at third against lefties. I have to say that the Michaels signing makes zero sense to me. For a team that is supposedly trying to be fiscally responsible, signing a FIFTH outfielder for $750,000 seems irresponsible - why not give the opportunity to somebody like Ray Sadler, who, while by no means a star (but then again, neither is Michaels) brings a fresh face and a league-minimum salary for probably the same amount of production as Michaels, albeit less Major League experience. The Boone signing, however, I really like. He had pretty decent splits against lefties and is a pretty notorious pull hitter, which could work well at MMP. Also, there's this.
Also, I showed my documentary at school today (a celebrity was in the audience). I will try and put that up as soon as I can.
In the world...not much is happening. President-Elect Obama continues to name cabinet members left-and-right, but none are really of note.
Because this a boring blog post, I will spice it up with some good videos.
Enjoy!
