Astros To Sign Bill Hall
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [December 17 at 1:34pm CST]
The Astros have agreed to sign Bill Hall to a one-year deal worth about $3MM
that includes a mutual option for 2012, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX
Sports (on Twitter). The agreement is pending a physical. The Yankees and
Dodgers were among the teams pursuing Hall, who will play second base
regularly for Houston.
Hall, 31 this month, hit 18 homers for the Red Sox as a utilityman last year.
He batted .247/.316/.456 and played all three outfield positions plus second,
third and short. He even set the Royals down in order when Terry Francona
called on him to pitch in May.
The agreement "practically ensures" that the Astros will trade Jeff
Keppinger, Rosenthal writes (Twitter link). Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi
reported earlier that the Yankees have spoken to the Astros about acquiring
Keppinger for their bench.
太空人同意和全能的工具人Bill Hall签下一年合约 $3M/yr，待体检通过便完成。
Bill Hall将是太空人先发二垒手，洋基和道奇曾竞逐过他。
Bill Hall 去年交易到红袜，2010薪水约$8.5M(酿酒人付7.15M)
在红袜382打数打出 .247 18 HR 46 RBI 9SB 0.772 OPS的成绩，外野三个位置都能守，
加上二三游，今年五月还对皇家投过1局无失分。
这也大概代表太空人将会交易 Jeff Keppinger，先前洋基曾和太空人讨论过交易的
可能性(当Cano的替补)。
