| Looks like some decent prospects. RHP Brad Peacock - 5th C Max Stassi - 11th LINK Reply • Back to Top |
| I like it... for both teams. Reply • Back to Top |
| Solid haul for the 'Stros, imo. Carter is relatively young and has tons of power. Peacock had a nice year in AAA last year and can be a solid 3/4. Stassi is the A's best C prospect. Lowrie has shown he can't stay healthy throughout his career. Reply • Back to Top |

| Didn't the A's just bring in a Japanese SS? Reply • Back to Top |
| Lowrie will beast for at least 45 games Reply • Back to Top |
| Carter may hit 40 homers this year with those Crawford Boxes Reply • Back to Top |
| Damn, Carter still has some holes in his bat but a .514 SLG & a .864 OPS are some pretty nice #'s coming to an Offense in desperate need of some production. Good stuff Stros. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Yeah, but they weren't sure on him being everyday. They had never stopped looking for another SS after passing on Escobar and Drew. I'd guess lowrie moves all over the infield though. And Carter reminded me of Pedro Serrano. Tons of power, but struggled a lot, and wasn't the best 1b. I like Moss a lot, nice to see him get the whole year at 1st. With Reddick, Cespedes, Coco, and now Chris Young, Carter couldn't dh full time either. It's a good trade for the A's This post was edited on 2/4 at 5:41 pm Reply • Back to Top |

| Man, now I'm not going to be able to get my Jed Lowrie bat signed. Reply • Back to Top |
| Why would the A's trade Carter? Do they really trust Brandon Moss? Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by volfan30 on 2/4 at 6:21 pm to bddwolfpack A's got Peacock in the Gio trade, correct?Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Brandon moss was great the 2nd half of the year. Carter is a liability at first, and has holes in his swing. A lot of people in the organization didn't think he'd ever develop into a consistent mlb hitter Reply • Back to Top |
| Moss has actually hit for power at the MLB level. Carter has actually hit nothing. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: since when is a 6+ ERA in AAA "solid"? Carter simply adds depth to an already long list of "has power but can't hit" 1B/DH contenders the Astros already have. As an Astros fan, I'm thinking Luhnow panicked. He wasn't sure if Lowrie could hold up until July, so he traded him now. I would've gambled and held on to him. If he stays healthy, this trade would look dramatically different. If he gets hurt... no huge loss, the team is destined for the cellar for the next 2 season anyway. Reply • Back to Top |

| As an A's fan I'm sad to see Carter leave. Dude was a beast. Hope he does well for you Astros fans. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
