Break up the... Astros?


Wedge

Recommended Posts

I'm curious. I was reading some ESPN articles this morning about which managers might get canned and they had Jimy Williams (Astros) as one of them (the article).

 

If the Astros keep struggling, I wonder if there's any chance that they go into Yard Sale mode and start shipping off guys like Dotel, Oswalt, Miller, Pettite, and the prize of prizes... CLEMENS.

 

I know it's pretty unlikely, but I've dreamed of the Rocket in a White Sox uni forever...

 

Let's just hope for a 10 game losing streak on their part or something...

well ok with our pitching in need of all this help i guess i'd take someone like Oswalt... Petitte and Clemens are too old to be worth it much longer... but if maggs leaves Berkman would be a helluva replacement

Dang, I completely forgot about Berkman when the favorite player thread was up. Berkman would top my list for non-Sox players. But, I would rather have Oswalt than Berkman, Lance would be second on my list. Brad Lidge is another that would be great to get, but I'm sure Oswalt and possibly Lidge are untouchable.

Berk, from what i've heard, is "definitely" coming back next year... But i'd love to see KW really really go for him. He's relatively cheap compared to what maggs was asking for and he's one heck of a ball player. But if the stos are in the trading mood, I'd go for Oswalt right now, give us a really great #3 or better.

They are gonna need berkman since biggio, bagwell, and kent are all getting up there in age. And who knows how much longer they are gonna be producing the numbers they are.

I live in Houston, I go to a LOT of games and let me tell you... Oswalt is a #1

 

Houston wont trade him... the only person that that would be on his way out is Dotel

I'd love Dotel on the South Side. He seems to be strugging as the closer right now, but in past years he has been lights out as a setup man. Have Dotel-Marte-Shingo in the 7th-8th-9th...damn.

I agree.. Miller, Oswalt, Dotel and Lidge would be more prized than Clemens or Pettitte.

 

I would LOVE Oswalt on the Sox.
