RHP Josh Baker

[I'm Richies Dad]

Did anyone notice that the Brewers released Josh Baker, former Rice Alum, and Berkman's brother in law.  Any chance he will signed to a minor league deal?  I know he has been injured but don't know why.  Maybe someone else could shed more light on this?  Is there any future for him, or is he done for?

Looking at his stat line since coming back from the injury:

0-2 with a 15+ ERA over 5 1/3 innings and a WHIP over 3 (10 walks and 7 hits)

I would say he is done.

Berkman got him a workout with the Astros a few days ago.

Thanks for the link.  I'd love to see him get a chance to play somewhere for the Stros minors.

There's a guy stuck in the Orioles system who told me he'd love to be in the Houston organization.  I'm guessing there's more than a few who share that view.

Totally off topic, but everytime I see the subject tag for this thread, I see:
