TCQ Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Astros acquired LHP Tyler Lumsden from the Royals for a player to be named or cash. Lumsden was designated for assignment by the Royals after going 3-13 with a 7.21 ERA in Triple-A last season. The cost was surely minimal and 40-man roster spots aren't at a premium in Houston, so there's no harm in taking him on. However, it's quite unlikely that Lumsden will ever amount to anything. Ouch thats gotta hurt the ol self esteem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, i know that Cortes is the real prospect, but i never felt this deal was as bad as it was labeled. This report lends even more credence to that theory.

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 He was one of the better relievers in baseball in '06. He had one bad year, though I guess we are still paying for him to not pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
