    Does he at least have years of control left? Maybe Strom can turn him into a stud or maybe we are flipping Javier and/or Abreu for a CF?

    So where are the people saying the Straw trade meant the Astros are getting another CF in a trade?

    Handing over CF to a unproven minor leaguer on a team that is one the favorites to win it all would be a little unprecedented.

    I'm thinking either something big is happening or Chas being a lateral move especially with Diaz back.

    Still…. Why trade a major leaguer for him? Trade some prospects and Raley to offset salary instead of Straw.

    Well that was weird to trade Straw away. No CF/OF coming back.

    WTF...Please tell me there is something that just hasn't been announced

    Not only is Chaz likely to struggle if thrown into an everyday spot...who back him up in CF?
