Looks we've joined the mix on Cashner

A little Meh. The results have rarely matched the stuff. But if you replace Fiers with Cashner, that's got the potential to be an upgrade.

Done had a damn good time this weekend at the games. Dating back to last season the Astros are 7-1 with me in attendance. Looking for the second sweep this season!

Don't want to waste prospects on someone who isn't an obvious, immediate upgrade. I hate this idea of making a trade to give the appearance that you're trying to win now.

Did some reading on Cashner. It appears he had nagging injuries early in the season but his recent good outings have also come from big changes.

He's worked on a new slider grip in recent weeks and thrown it twice as much lately. It's averaging 87 mph with tight break while his baseball is up over 94 on average. His command is really good with the changes, too. I can see why teams are on him hard as rental.

With our luck, he'll Kazmir on us though.
