Go ahead and deal. They ain't going to the playoffs this year. They've been buyers often at the trade deadline and had to give up young talent. I think that's part of the problem this year - that and the Astros just suck... The year they got Randy Johnson, The 'Stros we're widely regarded as having the best farm system in MLB. Go ahead and part with some players and rebuild for a run in 2008.

I agree, but it's not happening this year. Need to think of the future and cut your losses. I'm sure you could get some top line prospects if you put Roger on the rent-a-player market.

It doesn't do any good to pay him a million a start when he's
only getting 0.01 runs in support. They need a bat I don't
understand why they aren't offering up their entire triple A team
for Abreu or Soriano. Well, I do but you get my point.

The teams mention are different everyday on ESPN. But, I
heard last night that Detroit, Minnesota, and Houston are the
front runners for Soriano. When I go home today it will probably
be completely different but will know for sure by 3 pm Monday.
