The Astros are a good fit for Snell. They can afford to wait till August for him to get it going.

The whole reason they're even going after him is because they need a starter right away. By August they'll theoretically have Lance and Garcia back so they'll have a Verlander/Framber/Lance/Garcia/Javier/Brown(?) rotation

I assume McGwire wearing a Cubs uniform at Cubs camp is not merely because his son was a mid round pick for them, and he's a roving instructor or whatever?

McGwire has a ton of coaching experience. He's probably not there just hanging out.

Volpe looks pretty good this spring training. He's one of the few yankees on the offensive side that I think might outperform expectations.

there is nothing weird about a proud father who also happens to be one of the greatest power hitters ever showing up in his son's teams uniform and just going around helping players get better at mashing baseballs while they're not even employed by the team, it's very normal and cool. edit: it also shows that he recognizes the error of his ways being a member of the Cardinals all those years and is working to undo all those wrongs
