Thursday, December 10, 2009

News: Lyon agreed to a three-year deal with the Astros, pending a physical, the Astros' official site reports. Multiple sources report that the deal is worth $15 million total.

Analysis: Let's see if we have this right - the Astros opted against offering arbitration to LaTroy Hawkins, a roughly equivalent pitcher, in addition to offering him a two-year deal, so that they could pay more and for longer for Lyon? Meanwhile, the Astros still haven't addressed their starting rotation, let alone their badly aging and thin lineup. This has been an odd offseason for Ed Wade and company.
