Bill Hall, Astros Reportedly Agree to Deal
Filed under: Astros, Red Sox, Yankees, MLB Rumors, MLB Hot Stove
The Astros reportedly have agreed to a one-year deal with the versatile Bill Hall, bringing him back to the familiar turf of the NL Central. Hall will make about $3 million under the terms of the contract, which includes a mutual option for 2012 and is pending a physical, according to FoxSports.com. He'll be Houston's regular second baseman, sliding into a position he hasn't played as much as others during his career. Based on Hall's track record, though, it shouldn't be much of an adjustment. He has played every position except catcher and first base during his big league career, which had been spent entirely with the Brewers until he was dealt to Seattle in August 2009 and signed with the Red Sox last year as a free agent. Hall has made 129 starts at second base in his career, trailing shortstop (247) and third base (217) but just ahead of center field (125) for the consummate super-utilityman.

The 2011 IIHF World Junior Championships begin in less than ten days in Buffalo. In the meantime, Canada and the United States -- heavy favorites to meet in the gold-medal game -- are continuing their preparations, and overseas participants are about to fly to North America. Sweden is one of those teams about to travel to North America. Off a bronze-medal effort last year in Saskatoon, the Swedes are thought to be one of the teams in contention for a bronze medal again this year. They aren't regarded much higher than that. Sweden and Canada will play in a pre-tournament exhibition Tuesday night. Most would assume this is a great chance for Sweden to test themselves against the best the event will have to offer. According to center Anton Lander, however, Canada isn't the team they should be the most worried about.
