Is the "Myer's is untouchable" line just a smokescreen to drive up his value? Myer's has been money all season, he's pitched better than Roy has. If Drayton wasn't such a stubborn old fool he'd be doing a fire sale.
The Astros did so at Oswalt's request. He wanted the opportunity to break the record in Houston. As to not facing other teams' aces, what do you consider Cueto of the Reds, you know the guy that leads the Reds in wins, Ks and ERA? Also, considering how bad the Pirates are, Maholm is probably their ace.
Not really driving up his value per se but maybe "he's untouchable unless you "overwhelm" us with an offer." Can his value go higher? Not sure it will or can.
Yeah, had a nice game. Career high in K's I believe? Obviously makes sense to move him but I personally wont be mad if we dont, even with me saying his value probably wont be higher, heh. Can't explain myself on that one
Who would you want from Texas? http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/sports/mlb/100728-cards-back-away-from-oswalt-trade-talks
Mother of god, if the Rangers get Roy they would be right there with the Yanks and Rays as favorites to take the title...if they're not all ready there. Martin Perez, Mitch Moreland and Miguel Velazquez would get it done for me.
Wow. Well I was dead wrong in my belief that they would not trade Smoak.. could I be wrong that they wouldn't trade Holland either?? Even if not, Martin Perez.. Tanner Scheppers..
WTF, who the hell else would be involved and would we be sending multiple players out??? Werth to Tampa an option even after the Flying Hawiian's injury?
Texas is an exciting team to watch, if they were not from Texas (or if I were not an Astros fan) I'd be rooting for them.
I'm sure Keppinger is probably going to be traded as well. I think we should seriously think about trading Pence to the rays for some good prospects.
@SI_JonHeyman: #jays want big prospect from #mets, too, for downs. mets like myers but told houston wants to keep him since oswalt will go
