    #Astros, #Phillies may announce one of players to be named tonight. Four-player return: Singleton, Cosart, two more

    Rumor was NO, I guess they were right.

    I'd rather have singleton than brown. singleton is a stud of a power hitter.

    Nothing surprising. Seems like this offer was there from the start and the Astros couldn't pry away anyone significant other than Singleton/Cosart. Was the hangup the past few days just over the last 2 TBNL's? Still a good haul to get 2 top prospects for a good but unspectacular player.

    I would've liked to get Brown as well, but I can't blame the Astros for trying to get more pitching out of the deal. At least that's what I assume they were trying to accomplish.

    Honestly, I think they wanted the Braves to get involved but I guess they didn't budge on their big 4.

    Disappointed my Braves didn't get involved. Sounds like you guys got a fair return for Pence.

    No, he just caught the 3rd out in the 3rd inning.

    So....where do Cosart and Singleton start out? Do they add to the talent stockpile in Corpus or do they start at high-A where they are now?

    Maybe we can pry away one or two of the Braves top pitching prospects for Bourn... i think he would be a better fit than pence and you could make the arguement that he is the better player. Any chance of that happening ? .. if so thats a major haul for pence and bourn.

    I don't buy the rumors that they were ever going to give up Brown. Just my guess.
