    I'd give him a job. Not as a player, but I'd like to have him in the organization. Remember the enthusiasm he had for scouting Bundy? And he's clearly a very well respected guy around the game.

    As a player? No thanks

    As a coach? Absolutely

    Perhaps the Astros can sign him. They could use a full time DH.

    I think this is alot closer of a call. I guess Betemit blocks him, but if all things were equal and Betemit and Thome were free agents, I'd be at least tempted to go with Thome. Watching him interact with his teammates and coaches, he has good "veteranosity".

    Thome's bat was old and slow. No way Duquette brings him back IMO.

    Exactly. I'm guessing Houston signs him.

    Houston is probably a better landing spot for Berkman, but if he signs elsewhere I can see Thome generating some interest.
