    I think if it was a trade of any kind, it would be leaked by now. Agents, employees of the other team... these people live to spill it.

    It better not be a contract extension for an Astros. Not worthy of a press conference.

    if it's a Roy Oswalt extension, i think that's HUGELY significant!

    They are trading for Huff

    The Astros, poised to acquire a middle-of-the-order hitter they are seeking, are on the verge of acquiring infielder/outfielder Aubrey Huff from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, FOXSports.com has learned. A deal could be announced as soon as Wedendsay

    The Devil Rays would acquire two or three minor league prospects in the trade. The level and quality of the prospects would depend on how much of Huff's remaining salary that the Rays assumed.

    Didn't Milo recently lose a loved one? I'll bet he's retiring.

    True, but a press conference kind of gets your hopes high.

    Aubrey Huff? You've got to be kidding me....

    .283, 15 2B, 8 HR, 28 RBI

    And we're trading prospects for this...? Is this really the best we can do?
