oh no to max stassi

That's a haul for the Astros in exchange for a shortstop with some pop but also the ability to get hurt a lot.

Jaypers · Feb 4, 2013

The Astros cleaned up, IMO. Again.

Damn that's not a good trade for the A's

Chris Carter was a lot of fun to watch.

mredsox89 · Feb 4, 2013

Kind of confusing from the A's perspective, with Nakajima, Sizemore, and Weeks already up the middle. Lowrie though could have the highest ceiling of all four though. I'm a Weeks fan myself, but at this point he could be stuck in AAA/traded

The Astros also move their 3rd largest $ commitment and now have under $15M committed aside from arbitration eligible players

Astros found their DH.

BiggioBrooks755 · Feb 4, 2013

heard that Max Stassi was good...True?

VandyDan · Feb 4, 2013

Brad Peacock might have been an obstacle to Sonny Gray in the rotation. Might clear a better path for him?

Anyone think Jonathan Villar has a shot as the new starting SS???

Same here, I was disappointed when they traded him. The A's seem to take all of the Sox leftovers and turn them into stars so we'll see how Jed does this season.

I think so. I just hope this means they MIGHT speed up Correa moving trough the system.

The Astros system is DEEP.

Might as well mention again how much I miss Reddick in Boston...

Great job considering 2 years ago, their top 5 prospects were...

1.	Jordan Lyles, rhp
2.	Delino DeShields Jr., of/2b
3.	Jonathan Villar, ss
4.	Mike Foltynewicz, rhp
5.	Jio Mier, ss

I REALLY hope the Astros get SOMETHING out of Folty and Mier. Mier was a reach, imo, at the time and Folty has seemed like he has SO much potential.

Just hope 3-4 years from now, they are actually reaping the benefits from all these trades (plus whomever they get at #1 this year....if Apple stays healthy and dominant, I wouldnt be upset if it was him).

It's good to see them seem to move towards something more respectable. I'm really glad Drayton is gone. Even with a year or 2 with moderate success the last decade had been awfully meh and getting worse under him.
