    Astros Bill Hall Released

    Astros released 2B Bill Hall.
    Well, that's one way to free up some playing time for a glut of middle infielders. Hall has had a terrible year, batting just .224/.272/.340 with two home runs over 140 at-bats, but it's still surprising that the Astros decided to eat the remainder of his $3 million salary. He'll catch on as a reserve somewhere else. Jeff Keppinger should be used as the primary second baseman going forward.
    It was a terrible deal to begin with giving him $3 million. I don't see a lot of teams vying for his services.

    He played too much, that was his problem. Barmes back and Sanchez and Keppinger out playing him.. actually, yuck, what an infield.

    I knew the Astros were going to misuse him. The guy is only good in very limited action.

    For $3 million, you better try and get your money's worth. It was just a terrible signing all around.
