So im starting to scout for next year, and I notice that the players that got drafted are still in the scouting list. So I can't tell who not to scout, because it would be pointless to scout someone already draftedComment

Re: Da Astros
So, after long negotiations with the LA Dodgers representative in the OS Official Arbitration Panel we have agreed on a deal.
This is what it looks like:
Dodgers get:
-1B Carlos Lee (.310 avg/10 HR/39 rbi/.528 slg%)
-1B Telvin Nash (21 y/o B potential)
Astros get:
-CF James Baldwin III (20 y/o B potential)
-SP Chris Withrow (22 y/o B potential)
-RP Ethan Martin (22 y/o C potential)
I love this trade from my side. With Baldwin III we get a freakish athlete who will be our CF of the future who could bat 1 or 2. A SP with a power arm (can get it up to 98 mph) in Withrow who can challenge Cosart for best SP prospect. And Martin, a power arm RP who was the first HS pitcher to be selected in '08, who could be a great piece in the bullpen or even be converted back to SP.
Definitely excited about this trade.
What do you guys think?Last edited by NYYankees42; 06-13-2012, 04:57 PM.BIG BLUE ALL IN!!!

I might look into this trade as well if I get out the hunt. But right now I'm holding strong in the division and the wildcard. So Lee isn't going anywhere for the time beingComment

Re: Da Astros
@NYYankees42....looks solid on paper..resembles what i got back for Lee when i traded him in previous franchises....Astros are lacking in quality arms so to get 2 back is pretty sweet and i know your high on Baldwin so u should be happy!Steelers | Seminoles | A's | Rockets | Avalanche | Wildcats, Hoosiers | LiverpoolComment

Re: Da Astros
Looks like a solid trade to me and some great pieces to move forward with in the process of rebuilding.

I'm just happy that he has had a great year so far, giving me a great package of prospects in return in the trade.BIG BLUE ALL IN!!!

Re: Da Astros
I had to let Nash go in order to get the 2 arms back but considering that Singleton has that spot covered for the next 15 years, he was expandable.BIG BLUE ALL IN!!!

Re: Da Astros
Yeah it's kinda sad to let Lee go, he has basically been my whole offense, but being that we are so out of it, it had to be done. Especially since hes 35 and will be a FA after this season.

Re: Da Astros
if Singleton can man 1st for 1B for anywhere near 15 years, i'll be doin cartwheels...not to say he can't but u never know....i never entertained the idea of trading Nash since he has the ability to play the OF....maybe u just gave me something to think about....Steelers | Seminoles | A's | Rockets | Avalanche | Wildcats, Hoosiers | LiverpoolComment

I never thought of nash as a trading piece either until the dodgers rep mentioned he wanted a prospect at first. Since im set in the outfield with JD Springer Santana and now Baldwin i didnt see him fitting in there.BIG BLUE ALL IN!!!
