    Im assuming from previous reports the Yankees may be willing to over pay in order to bring him back. I would say the top two landing places for him will be the Astros and Yankees.
    "They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett

    HOUSTON -- The Astros have declined to offer arbitration to all five of their free agents, general manager Tim Purpura confirmed on Friday.

    The list includes Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Aubrey Huff, Russ Springer and Jeff Bagwell. The Astros are extremely interested in negotiating contracts with Pettitte and Clemens, should they decide to pitch in '07, but they appear to be only moderately interested in Springer and Huff. Bagwell recently filed for free agency but is expected to retire in the very near future.

    No mission they did not. Pettitte is most likely to stay in Houston because of family (part of the reason he was going to retire) and they added Lee which gives them more than one run producer.

    According to SI.com's Jon Heyman, the Yankees have told Andy Pettitte they'll go to $17 million for 2007 and give him a second year if that's what it will take to sign him.
    Still, interested parties have seen the competition as a 50-50 proposition, writes Heyman. The Astros are currently at $12 million and likely will have to go higher, something they'd be foolish not to do after deciding Carlos Lee was worth $16.67 million per year. "Certainly, we have a geographical edge," Astros GM Tim Pupura said. "And certainly, you have to expect the Yankees to have a financial edge."
    Zoinks!!!
