Terrible trade anyway u look at it for the astros....

Prolly one of the worst trades in astros history

[DaHop72]

How about this one?



Although Joe Morgan played with distinction with Houston, the Astros wanted more power in their lineup. As a result, they traded Morgan to the Cincinnati Reds as part of a blockbuster multi-player deal on November 29, 1971, announced at baseball's winter meetings. While the Astros got power-hitting Lee May, the deal is now considered one of the most one-sided trades in baseball history. To this day, it is considered an epoch-making deal for Cincinnati. Included in the deal to the Reds were Cesar Geronimo (who became their regular center fielder) and Jack Billingham, who soon joined the Reds pitching rotation as a leading starter.

Basically the Astros gave birth to the Big Red Machine with that trade...:doh:

LOL. It's still a funny quote. You don't see the humor in claiming to have won a spelling bee but misspelling a couple of words in that sentence.:D

What???...2-9, 6.45 ERA is not good enough for you?

Tough crowd!

I saw where the Astros released Eric Munson. He was picked up by Milwaukee already. I know they were catcher heavy. Biut it was quantity not quality. I guess they are counting on Towles to take over.

Definitely. If Ausmus comes back next year they've already told him he's the backup to Towles. Sucks for Munson though. I always thought he was pretty good.
