Again not one frontline player according to MLB network. Hey Ed ur a idiot.......

How many years do you think it will take for this to pay off, if ever?

[mat]

Fear not! We still have Carlos Lee.  >:(

[Guest beechnut]

Matters not bc at least we have football starting this week and who cares? Rather pay ten bucks next year to go watch Sugarland skeeters and triple A chaps than pay big bucks to watch double A.

Nope, try Texas League.

Would have thought Bourn could have landed us Mike Minor or Julio Teheron from the Braves. Guess not though?

Why would you think that when you have a JA like Ed Wade making the calls?.

[WOSgrad]

And the Astros paid the Braves $2 million for this trade?  Let's see one weekend, two starters, three million dollars.  Is that what is required of a major league GM?  I can do that!

[et531303]

I'm glad High School football season is starting I am tired of watching the Astros lose and trading their best players so we can get average minor league players or "benchwarmers" in the Majors.

I am upset with this trade maybe more than Pence....I could see Bourn in CF and lead-off for a number of yrs to come...But, it ain't gonna happen.... :(

[falcolnfanatic]

I was ok with the pence trade because we got the phillies top 2 prospects, but it just seems like we gave bourn away for nothing. I mean we didn't even get one big prospect like mike minor.
