Three teams reportedly have interest in signing veteran infielder/outfielder Bill Hall, the Nettleton native who was released a few days ago by the Houston Astros. Washington, Baltimore and the New York Yankees may be pursuing the 33-year-old Hall, who hit 18 homers for Boston in 2010. The Astros, who signed the free agent in the off-season, had hoped Hall would inject some power into their lineup as their second baseman, but the experiment didn’t work. He hit just .224 with two homers. He was dropped into a platoon role in mid-May and then displaced altogether when Jeff Keppinger, a superior hitter and glove man, returned to active duty.
