I don't fricking trust special Ed. He'll trade Pence to the Braves for Minor, Brooks Conrad and Scott Linebrink.

quote:

The Astros are showing a willingness to trade Hunter Pence, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney (on Twitter). Rival executives expect GM Ed Wade to trade Pence, Olney reports. The Braves, who may be close to acquiring a right-handed bat, have enough prospects to pry Pence away from Houston. However, Atlanta has interest in Jonny Gomes and others, including Carlos Beltran. The Pirates have also been eyeing Pence, who will cost a lot in terms of prospects.

I wouldn't break up this Stros team for anything less than a top 5 prospect either.

I get the feeling that Astros fans greatly overvalue Hunter Pence. He isn't worth a top 5 prospect. If that's what they want for him, then they must really want to hang on to him because no one is going to give them anything close to that.

and what's the point in the Astros trading Pence for a guy that is just going to be an average major leaguer ?

Braves farm system has plenty of guys who project to be well above average not named Teheran.

completely agree. But didn't I read somewhere on here that the Braves are unwilling to part with Viz, Teheran and a couple others ?

Brah...right now...right now. Minor could go head to head with Roy Halladay but the Braves are so stacked even he can't get in. He'd be the Astros ace right away.

Vizcaino and Teheran are not going anywhere. Both are top 15 prospects in all of baseball.

One of Delgado or Minor could be included, but I wouldn't be too happy about it
