Benson is available

Orioles decline option on Kris Benson.   I'm not sure Houston could stand Anna but Kris has been a serviceable #3/#4.  Would you take a flyer on him?

Given all of the "gentleman's clubs" in Houston, I'm sure Anna would fit right in.

I wonder if Anna will take credit for negotiating his contract again, regardless of where he goes.
The test of a true champion is how he reacts to adversity on days when it is bound to come.

I think this song is a paean to Anna:

My Google skills are not up to Pravata's standards so I don't know what his current status is other than he's filed for free agency so presumably teams can figure that out.

Here's the view from Baltimore, Link He had surgery in March, but the Orioles apparently would have prefered he try to pitch through the injury in 07.  They're skeptical about his recovery.  I don't see he's pitched anywhere in 07.

Would a Shaune Bagwell comparison be inappropriate for me to make?

Just wondering.

I don't even want to know how Anna tore her labrum.

Shaune was/is a whore, but she wasn't that kind of whore.  It's like saying Janet Reno and Alyssa Milano are both women.  It's accurate, but then again, it ain't accurate.

I won't claim to know either of them much better than you all, but for the record, I've met the Bensons and they both seem to be very nice people.

So we can assume she was at least giving you a reach around at the time?

Nahhhh.  Funny, I knew I'd be setting myself up with that post.  Just didn't feel right saying nothing at all.  PM if you want specifics.

I'm not so sure you're right on that Zipp. You check Reno and I will check Alyssa.
