Hampton signs with Astros
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
After six injury-filled seasons with the Braves, lefthanded pitcher Mike Hampton is leaving the organization to sign with the Houston Astros.
The AJC’s David O’Brien reports that Hampton accepted less money than the Braves were offering to sign with the Astros. O’Brien also reported that Hampton is going through a divorce and wanted to be closer to his children in Arizona.
As a Braves fan, are you sympathetic with Hampton’s plight and thus understand his decision to leave the Braves, or would you have rather have him around in ‘09 now that he’s finally healthy? In an informal poll since the story broke Monday evening, more than 65 percent of the 3,500 respondents said it was time for Hampton to move on.
Let us know what you think.
