Not much. The owner thinks with the rotation that got 80+ wins will be legit next year. In reality theyll be a third place team at best. They want to Resign wolf, brocail and hawkins. Offer arbitration to guys like Valverde and Wigginton and find a veteran catcher thats not to pricey.

im down LSU boo. drayton

we were lucky. i still think that staff sucks ma ballz

you say that like sheets wouldnt be a big addition...

thats as much as we could ask out of old drayton, and id would be pretty damn pleased

The Astros have a long trade history with the Padres.

Peavy and Oswalt are best friends and hunting buddies.

I'm sure it won't happen, but there would be a remote chance. Drayton is a big fan of Oswalt's.

I'd say the Astros are the third most-likely trade destination, but the Padres want young pitching and the Astros traded all of that away for Jason jennings and Miguel Tejada. They would almost certainly have to include Pence in the deal, which isn't the end of the world, but if they trade pitching prospects who are close to ML ready, the farm system will be worse than gutted... it'll damn near be gone.

So... could it happen, sure. Likely... doubtful, unless the Padres change their mind and look for the hitting over the pitching.

I'd love to see the Astros get Peavy but I'm just not convinced that he would get the Astros to the playoffs. You still have to rely on Wolf, Wandy and Moehler and I don't think they'll be good like last year. So I'm not really for trading away prospects we don't have.

The deal would be Peavy to the Braves for Yunel Escobar, Gorkys Hernandez, and a pitching prospect not named Tommy Hanson. I would do this in a heartbeat.

i am not crazy about giving up escobar for peavy. now if it was harden or somebody else maybe but not high on peavy

if we trade escobar i will be very upset. guy has a brighter future than peavy.
