    'Villar, a shortstop in Low A ball, was ranked 22nd among Phillies prospects'.......yikes....And we just spent a 1st last year on a SS... double yikes... Not gonna freak out yet, but I'd have much rather just kept Roy :(

    Hope you win a ring, Roy. You'll probably be in your 60's the next time the Astros are even relevant again.

    Bittersweet. I love Roy O, but the Astros had to make a move to restock.

    What a joke of a front office.

    How could they not get Singleton?

    That's the biggest positive I take out of this deal so far.

    I really hope the Phillies win the WS now.

    Restock?! They traded him for Happ and Villar or whatever his name is. Basically Happ for Oswalt.

    I'd have rather just watched Roy pitch for us if the prospects are underwhelming. I follow most games, but Roy's I'd watch....and now he's gone....this stinks :(

    Astros are talking to Toronto about a trade involving Anthony Gose.

    I will wait to see what the Blue Jays part in this may be before being completely depressed, are we getting another prospect for Gose or will they pay part of Oswalt salary???

    The Phillies have cheerleaders, not the Blue Jays. Sadly it looks like they were valued too high by Philadelphia...

    I can't stand McClane anymore. His run is over and it's time for him to part ways with this team. Hopefully the team doesn't get moved in the process, that would suck even more.

    So we traded RoyO for Happ, the Phillies #22 rated prospect and the Phillies #6 prospect whom we're flipping to Toronto.

    What Astros fan wouldn't be thrilled with that trade? Good job Wade.

    :rolleyes:



    Did we really need to throw in $11 million to make this happen?
