Sad

Apparently, the Astros think Jeff Bagwell's career is over and are making an insurance claim saying so. Jeff Bagwell doesn't seem to agree, as he's going to report to camp anyways. However that situation ends, it's going to messy. I've always liked Bagwell (read: grudgingly respected him as he bashed the Pirates heads in for over a decade) and was happy to see him and Biggio get to the Series last year after everything they'd done for the Astros. It's sad to think he's going to go out in a messy situation like this (I realize he's owed a ton of money by the 'Stros who don't want to pay it to a guy that's probably best suited to play DH) and I hope they can get everything together to avoid it.
