The Astros are eating 6.5 million on this deal. Wow.

Hendry isn't going to sign Woody. Give the man some credit. I see Woody going back to St. Lou, or retire.

Now he may retire:

 

Woody Williams said he'd retire after being released by the Astros on Saturday.

 

It's time. For a guy who never made more than 10 starts in a year until his age-30 season, Williams accompished quite a bit. He finishes his career 132-116 with a 4.19 ERA in 15 seasons. He led the NL with seven shutouts in 2001 and won 18 games for the Cardinals in his All-Star season in 2003. 2002 could have been his best year of all, but muscle strains limited him to 17 starts and he finished 9-4 with a 2.53 ERA.

Huh so he had his two big years with the Cardinals and really wasn't much in the years away from St. Louis. Strange, that almost never happens.

I'd take my six and a half million and go home too...
