June 25, 200421 yr Houston has Brad Lidge to be closer now, who has been better than Dotel this year Houston is getting better from this deal by far... And now I get to go watch Beltran play
June 25, 200421 yr That Astro's offense is gonna be something. Beltran, Bagwell, and Berkman hitting 3, 4, 5,. I still think they need bullpen help. But it looks as if the Astro's r gonna go all out in trying to win this thing. So I expect them to add a quality reliever or 2 very soon.
June 25, 200421 yr I am watching the St.Louis broadcast and Joe Buck said it is official about Beltran.
June 25, 200421 yr That is awesome! Now the 'Stros have no excuse for not beating the Scrubs out in the NL Central.
June 25, 200421 yr That is awesome! Now the 'Stros have no excuse for not beating the Scrubs out in the NL Central. What is even better is that tHE Sox do not have to see Beltran the rest of the year. By the way what did KC get out of this deal?
June 25, 200421 yr KC Gets From Oakland: 3B Mark Teahan, P Mark Wood From Houston: C John Buck and now I get to see Beltran play whenever I want!!!!! Welcome to H Town C Beezy
June 25, 200421 yr Are those guys good or are the Royals just dumping him? Either way, what a great baseball day for Sox fans.
June 25, 200421 yr Are those guys good or are the Royals just dumping him? Either way, what a great baseball day for Sox fans. Teahan and Buck are pretty good prospects, but I don't know about Wood.
June 25, 200421 yr Dotel LICKS... 0 - 4 with a HIGH 3 ERA and 14 of 17 Saves Houston made out BEST on this deal
June 25, 200421 yr Dotel LICKS... 0 - 4 with a HIGH 3 ERA and 14 of 17 Saves Houston made out BEST on this deal Dotel is much better as a set-up guy. The Astros still have some question marks with their bullpen. But it's hard to argue adding one of the best all around players in the game to your team.
June 25, 200421 yr dotel is a hell of a lot better then arthur rhodes maybe now the A's can shutup my friend thats a texas rangers fan
June 25, 200421 yr Per www.mlb.com 'The Astros acquired outfielder Carlos Beltran from the Royals in exchange for closer Octavio Dotel, catcher John Buck and cash considerations. The Royals then shipped Dotel and cash to the A's in exchange for minor league right handed pitcher Mike Wood and minor league third baseman Mark Teahen.' f*** yeah, Astros! Kick some Cubbie ass!
June 25, 200421 yr Anyone know how good the prospects are that KC is getting? I posted the same thing in the Sports Bar, so if you mods want to merge this one in here, or merge it with the one in the sports bar, that's fine. I hope Beltran finds it enjoyable to beat up on another team from Chicago!
June 25, 200421 yr Sweet! Hopefully Lidge will be a solid closer for the Stros now and they should win that division.

Kick some Cubbie ass! lol..U didn't see the other Beltran thread?
June 25, 200421 yr lol..U didn't see the other Beltran thread? Yeah - I wanted to make a new post here, because the *Official Carlos Beltran Thread* was just speculation, and I figured this would be more obvious for people to see.
June 25, 200421 yr Teahan was the A's best position prospect.... and Wood is an A's pitcher so you know he must have something good in him Buck was the Astros top prospect
June 25, 200421 yr The prospects the Royals got from the A's are both in AAA. Teahen is 22 and Wood is 24. Teahen is batting .275 this season. Wood has is 11-3 with a 2.80 ERA in 15 starts. Wood sounds like a stud. The Royals got out and got a good pitcher. They still need more though.
June 25, 200421 yr This is where this thread belongs, in the sports bar, not Pale Hose Talk. No. I mean that we already have one in the sportsbar. But it's no big deal.
June 25, 200421 yr Guys, i dont really like this trade, sure it hurts the cubs but who cares about them. The Royals now have 3 GREAT Prospects, they got what they were looking for (a 3B and a Catcher), plus a stud pitcher. Watch out for the royals in a few years.
