Is he a pitcher??

And I think Happ will bounce back. He was solid with the Phils before we got him and solid last year. He'll be a good player IMO

Maybe he's better than him today, but I'd much rather have the 4 year younger $440K Austin Jackson, than the $4.4/M man Michael Bourn over the long haul...



Of course, but the Astros aren't in a pennant race. The Tigers are. To me they have the team to do it this year. Finally got enough protection for Miggy with VMart. But he ain't getting any younger. Have the bullpen in Albuerque and Valverde. To me they are just missing a lead off hitter and another starting pitcher.

And with the ceiling that Jackson has they wouldn't have to give up Turner. Just one of those lefties in the farm system with Jackson would be enough IMO.

sorry i meant more in the context of how the Astros view him/are treating him - as the face of a franchise/every year All Star/clean-up guy

He is not that short of that. He is a very good ballplayer. He hit would third or fourth on a decent amount of lineups, including the Braves, which seemed to be the most likely destination.

The Phillies would prefer to structure any of their Hunter Pence offers around Vance Worley.


In reality the Phillies probably offered Dom Brown and Wade's response was "woah lets keep that on the table. But would you be willing to trade this Vance Worley guy?"

Pence to Boston for Reddick, Renaudo and a good infield prospect would be a good deal for both, IMO.

At least they're looking for getting something well worth the deal and not willing to give up the face of your franchise and a great player in years to come for a couple of decent players.

Doubt it. My guess is they asked for 2 of the Big 5.

Buuuump that. Reddick is showing patience, which is literally the only thing he hasn't shown over the years. Renaudo is going to be a helluva pitcher, and I don't want him getting away.

If the Stros go without trading Pence, Wandy, or Bourn it will be an epic failure by Wade.
