Trade Lane/Esquiel Astacio for Crawford Trade Burke/Munro/Redding for Soriano Sign Danny Bautista Crawford Biggio Soriano Bagwell Berkman Ensberg Everett Ausmus Oswalts Pettittes Clemens (if he returns) Backe Hernadez free agent Lidge SAY NO TO BURNITZ !!! dude sucks ... .240 hitter just cause he had a good yr in COORS FIELD. Look at his #'s in NY.
hmmmmm.... trade 5 scrubs for 2 all-stars. sounds good. lane - unproven & not young astacio - never pitched above AA, but a prospect redding - major bust so far burke - unproven & not particularly young munro - proven to be a below average pitcher. not too likely
YES. DO IT. Bring in Carl. This would be a "Carlos" who would be willing to play in H-town "not about the money". Hometown favorite.
With all that room in centerfield at MMP Crawford could have a shot at 20 triples. I don't think Tampa would trade him but it sure would be nice to see him in a Astros uniform.
I'll say this....now is when we will really start to miss Hun and his ability to find deals and evaluate talent.
I'm sure the Devil Rays can't wait for that deal to be offered. We're not getting Crawford, he only made about $300,000 last year. No way Tampa trades a player with great talent with that type of contract.
Who knows....just trying to think of other ways to improve.............BECAUSE GOD KNOWS THAT DRAYTON AND TIM SURE AS HECK DIDNT!!!!! NICE PLAN B BOYS!
I was starting to get a little worried, I hadn't heard this from you in a couple of hours. Like I've said before, give management some time. You have no idea what they are working on right now. I'd rather them take the time and make a good solid move, then to hurry up and make a bad deal, and possibly mortage our future, just to appease fans like you.
They don't have an idea what they are working on...thats what worries me. And yes, I think they should appease fans like me who buy season tickets and concessions etc and help pay player's salaries.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you had inside knowledge of what's going on with Astros management. So you want them to make a deal right this moment, whether it helps the team or not? I didn't say they shouldn't make a move, but that they shouldn't rush into the wrong one. I guarantee you that they will make at least one trade and bring in probably 2 free agents (likely bullpen arms) before spring training. What's the rush, last time I checked the season doesn't start until April (or is it late March).
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS??? is this filed away with your information on Texas law regarding no-compete clauses??? or jock tax?? I just don't know how you can say that when you have no clue what their plans are.
