I see him being in the rotation, maybe the No. 2 starter or No. 3 starter behind Backe. If not, he could bolster the bullpen.

This is good, seeing that the Astros have a horrible rotation this year. Chacon could help. Too bad they couldn't keep Jennings. I think it was stupid of the new management to go after Tejada and make all these big trades, I think they should go into rebuilding mode and focus around their new catcher and Hunter Pence (and of course, Oswalt)

Shawn Chacon had a ERA over 7 in his last full year with the Rockies, as a reliever. I was happy as heck when he went to the Yankees and helped them make the playoffs in 2006.

Good Luck Chacon!

I think signing Patterson might be a good idea. He is only a couple years removed from a 3.00 ERA, maybe he just needs a location change.
