It Is Done.

Guess Newsday wasn't so stupid, after all. The Astros scheduled a press conference for 11:00 AM to announce that Fat Rog has returned to the Astros for another season. As was hinted at in today's literary diversion, I suppose this means that Fernando Nieve is ultimately destined for AAA or the bullpen.

I'd heard yesterday that Rog has been working out, but he'll clearly need a few weeks to get into pitching form again. Perhaps a decision on the odd man out in the rotation could be decided by Taylor's and Fernando's respective performances from now until then. (Wandy has to be a safe bet to remain, I'm thinking.)

Woot.
