Or so says Myers:
"It was time to start over in a new place. Obviously, after the [hip] surgery, teams were hesitant to take a chance on me. I thought I'd be comfortable here because I knew Ed Wade, the guy that drafted me with the Phillies. This was my main choice. Houston is a 21/2-hour flight from Jacksonville. Being in the south kind of suits me. People understand me a little bit better."
Myers' expectation on 2010:
"The only expectation I can have for this year is just trying to stay healthy. If I'm healthy, I know what I can accomplish. Everything feels good, but I got to be careful with things I do with my hip. It's recovered 100 percent. Coming back from the injury, that was the easy part. It's maintaining health that's going to be the hard part."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
