    Call up the lion to play centerfield? Trade for Buxton? There has to be more right

    Maybe Buxton is coming if Straw is traded.

    I thought that might be a second trade if we obtained Buxton or Bryant. But a stand alone?

    I'm stating more of who we traded (top prospects), not who we got.

    Only thing I can think of is someone from the bullpen (Javier/Abreu) is being traded in a bigger deal...

    I did not see this coming. Thought we would hold onto Straw. Grab your seat belts everyone!

    I don’t want injury prone buxton. Even if this leads to another trade, why not trade straw for whatever trade comes next? I trust stanek more than maton.

    Guys tend to get a lot less injury prone in their last year before free agency.

    Sandoval may not have been a "top prospect", but he's doing better in the big leagues than any of those other guys.

    This is a tough one. Perhaps they feel they are selling Straw at his highest value right now to get another arm, but I can't see the Astros satisfied with McCormick as their everyday centerfielder.
