Al Briggs
pro: he looks like a mexican vampire.
con: he is a turrible teammate, and head case.

How is how his career ended in Texas even mentioned as a pro regardless of Torre’s opinion? The con is that he can self-destruct: gets moody and takes it upon himself to throw at people intentionally. I like the guy, but I didn’t like how he left the Rangers and I think you really can’t tell if that behavior is completely behind him. I wouldn’t give him a long term deal.

I think he’s more well-behaved when the opposing team can retaliate against him. For this reason, maybe he’s better suited for the NL.
Jake Humphrey
Con: He’s a crazy sonofabitch that’s liable to implode at any given moment.

From my perspective, that’s not a con. 🙂
Anyway, keep him on one-year deals and you’re probably fine.

If an AL teams signs him, they better prepare to get into brawls because of his propensity to throw at batters.The Texas players basically threw him off the team because he continued to throw at batters, even after it was explained to him, that in doing so it only put his teamates at risk of retaliation. He’s toned it down in the NL, because he has to bat, but it hasn’t completely stopped. Witness the Yankees series this past summer. A 2yr deal would be a smart signing, anything more would be a risk with this Jerk

A big con is the guy is a total jerk.

I hate this guy, they should pay him to go away forever.

One big “Pro” is that he throws an eephus pitch.

I would take him in Houston. The guy plays with passion. Yes, he had a bad situation in TEX, but he has thrived in LA. He will be inexpensive, like I said, I would take him for the Astros.
