A lot of ways to take this. Were Nova and McAllister shaking hands with each other, indicating one of them is going to go? If so, whom? Or were they both shaking hands with the rest of the team because both are moving? Guess we won't know until there's an official announcement.
Man, it's sad to see Berkman go, but I had a feeling it was coming after yesterday. An era in Astros baseball is over. Time to bring in the young in's!
That'd be excellent return for Berkman, if true. It'd even be excellent return if it was Berkman+Lindstrom.
I follow now...... Thanks, man I read that his requirement for his approval is that the Yanks do not pick up his $15M option next year so he can return to Houston. Talk about loyalty......you just don't see that much anymore these days
Hahaha... @clintshane Was it worth makin my friend all kinds of mad just to get a story out there 18 hours before the real media? Well yeah...
I f***ing know that guy. He works with my brother and is in my fantasy league. What kind of insight could he have?
Haha. He put on a convincing argument when he told me last night. I generally tend to see past people's BS, although you have to be on high alert with him... but his source seemed legit. Wait, this isn't the fantasy league that he won two years in a row and got kicked out of, is it?
WOW, I wouldn't call him a non-prospects. Hope this is the get but after Singleton coming here and then not ill wait for the official word before getting excited.
Wow Berkman must be thrilled going from the Astros to the Yankees. It's like upgrading from Rosie O'Donnell to Megan Fox.
if he was that bad he wouldn't have had 8 teams pining for his services. if the astros part with roy o, berkman, and $11M and pick up all of one decent prospect something is seriously not right.
I really don't have a problem with the deal yesterday, but if they pay anything at all remaining on his salary and get nothing else in return, then that's just sad.
I haven't read the whole thread but what's the word on Myers, Rodriguez, Keppinger? Hell, sell 'em all!!
jimcallisBA Yeah, considering Hou may not offer Berkman arbitration @LEXthePEX: If the Stros get Mccalister and Nova for Berkman, would that be decent?
