Why am I not surprised? For his sake, it's good he was in Houston; fans here wold have killed him if it had happened here.

I would have killed Frank Wren had he even considered bringing back Hampton, who I never found that good. Now, he's a fringe starter and fringe starters who can't stay healthy aren't worth the time.
