Jon Heyman made himself a list of the position players who are available, and ranked them in order. Lance comes in all the way down at #14:
With the Astros said to be listening on just about everyone except Hunter Pence and maybe Michael Bourn, Berkman's name is out there. Originally, he wanted his $15 million option for 2011 picked up, and if that holds true, he will be tough to unload without Houston paying most of the deal (and that isn't something they'll want to do). "That's silly. No one's picking that up," one GM said. "He's been better lately but age is catching up a little bit."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
