He was in RR and putting up his usual AAAA numbers (1.23 era/21 K in 14.2 IP). I'm sure the Astros had no interest in bringing him up, especially with the early success of the Byrdek/Wright lefty combo. They'll probably get cash or some low-A player.
from the tigers to the (d-)rays to the phils....the trend of dealing with teams due to our gm's associations/familiarity with them continues.
