    not even in the same stratosphere. they got a similar haul to our carlos lee trade, i'd say. maybe closer to bourn trade.

    Jayson Stark: Pence acquisition was going to work only if they won the WS. They gutted the system for him. Now they're unloading money. Got 2 good prospects but this won't fill seats.

    That's a promotion from short-season all the way to Double-A.

    Michael Bourn is ****ing awesome, the best CFer I've seen in a while, and they shouldn't have traded him last year, plus he's the best CFer the Stros have had since Cesar Cedeno, but that is ludicrous. Good luck Boras. Sad thing is he'll get it.

    Against Tampa Bay. They've had their share of no-nos against them the last few years (3 times, included 2 perfect games).
