Victorino on free agency; Halladay tells his fish story

Shane Victorino may have a future in acting, fresh off his appearance at the top of Monday night's "Hawaii Five-O" episode.


But he does have a future in baseball, and like teammate Cole Hamels, is playing the 2012 season without a contract beyond the year.


Q: So have you thought about the fact that you're a free agent after this season?

Victorino: You definitely think about it, but you have to stay focused on what's ahead of you. It's a big year for all of us. Not just free agency, but us getting back to where we need to be is very important. There are a lot of expectations.... and we want to keep this team as long as we can. But there's a certain point where other stuff comes into play. I've definitely thought about it.

Q: Has there been talks?

Victorino: No.

Q: Plan on talking?

Victorino: Yeah, I don't plan on going anywhere else.


So that, as they say, is that.

Perhaps the most entertaining thing to happen today was Roy Halladay's chance to set the record straight.


In case you hadn't heard - and I highly recommend Zoo With Roy's retelling of the story, especially the picture summary at the end - Halladay got into an odd excursion on a fishing trip this offseason. He helped save a naked man in the Amazon who had been attacked by an anaconda. Really.

Here is the video of Halladay re-telling the story. Enjoy.
