In Jayson Stark's new Rumblings and Grumblings column, he discusses the future of Lance Berkman:
There is also a lot of buzz that assuming the Astros pick up Berkman's $15 million option for next year, they'll tack on a short extension.
Hey, unnamed friend of Berkman, what if that doesn't happen? Would he play for another team?
"No. Maybe for two months down the stretch somewhere with a chance to win. But the truth is, he's more likely to end his career in Houston. He loves being home."
Should the Astros pick up Lance's $15m option?
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
