    I think he's kind of hinted at it but also said several times that he would see how he felt at that point. He didn't give any absolutes either way.

    From the link on the last page: "And an elbow injury to their top pitching prospect, Jarred Cosart, apparently has removed him from any current trade talks as well."

    Singleton untouchable with Brown, Cosart appears to have an injury.

    Lindstrom pitching the 8th inning?

    That's odd, no?

    Why is Singleton untouchable if he's a first baseman and they have Ryan Howard tied up for another 5 years?

    If true, unsurprised. Roy, Astros want to have their own cake and eating it too.

    Astros asking for Brown??? Are they that stupid??? I cal b.s. on that aspect however calling the deal close to dead is probably still possible with Roy's demand.

    It may just be more posturing, this time on the part of Wade.

    I would pay the rest of Roy O's salary this year for Brown, didn't Oswalt almost become a Met in '07?

    If they are getting the Phillies to pay all of Oz's salary this and next year plus getting good prospects in return then I would be giddy, asking for Brown is pipe dream so I think you'd be right about posturing. By tonight, IMO, we should get an answer to a lot of questions.
