And I'm almost certain Art Howe, ... and Don Baylor would be among Drayton's most logical choices of potential new managers if the Astros make a change. Don't be surprised if one of those three guys is managing the Astros in 2010.

Ryan, I'm not sure why you think Drayton would hire Howe, or why Howe would take the job. I have reason to know that there was little love lost on their parting the first go 'round, and though these things sometimes get resolved over the years I have not heard that they have made up (though again, it is possible, and I don't claim that I would have heard).

Baylor was a lousy manager before, and I would never want to see him here. I don't know if he and Drayton have a relationship, I can only hope they don't.
