Not sure what you are asking.  Maybe Noe can answer this one.

In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

It irks me to watch him "play."  Great talent with a five cent head on his shoulders.  He would be gut and gilled by major league pitchers.

But on the bright side, only grounded into 3 double plays.

We were at the Dell last Sunday (a week ago), and I was appalled by his attitude. He struck out and then just kind of shuffled back to the dugout, dogged it on a couple of plays in the outfield, and just seemed uninterested in being out there.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Houston sees value in keeping him around.  Maybe they're getting a grant or something.

Gotta imagine he'll be the unofficial pinch runner once the roster expands in a couple months if nothing else
Reading Richard Justice and respect level for Richard Justice are inversely related

That and he can help stir up a breeze on those muggy September games in Florida or Atlanta.

Too dumb.   Yaddeeaa would pick him off in a one game playoff, and then we would all just be mad.

My only hope is that he will soon be DFA and will reject that assignment so that the Express will finally be free.
