Hampton Will Consider Astros

Considering what Hampton has done the last four or five years he really should consider any and every major league team that might be willing to offer him a job and not just the ones that have great schools in the area.

"Considering what Hampton has done the last four or five years he really should consider any and every major league team that might be willing to offer him a job and not just the ones that have great schools in the area."

If he wants great public schools, he should latch on with the Red Sox or a NY team and live in CT. That said, with all the money this guy has made in his life, there should be no trouble sending his kids to whatever the local elite private school is.

If Hampton really still wants to pitch, and it does seem he is still able to pitch in the back of a rotation, he should take a Chan Ho Park-esque deal and pitch his way into the back of the rotation. He could also be useful as a pinch hitter in the vein of Micah Owings.

Hampton was just ok enough to make some GM to think "Wow, this guy might actually be able to contribute for the next couple of years!"

The funny part will be watching him get ten starts in next year before breaking a bone in his body that no one has ever heard of.

The school thing was meant as a joke, because when he signed the big contract one of his reasons was because the Denver area had great schools, and not solely because Colorado went above and beyond what anyone else was willing to offer. I don't care which team he signs with there is always a quality school somewhere in the area.

I believe he will get a multi-year contract with minimal strings attached and that team will regret it when he shatters his arm in eight places while hailing a cab.
