July 5, 200520 yr Richard Justice said on PTI today that there is NO CHANCE the Astros are going to trade Clemens. He is one of the best baseball reporters in the business and follows the Astros closely as he works for the Houston Chronicle.

And why would you, when it looks like they may even trade for Adam Dunn to boost their lineup. And we all saw how good they were in the 2nd half of the season last year.
July 5, 200520 yr Would love to see him here, but I just don't see it happening. Even if we put together a package the Stro's liked, I don't see him saying yes for reasons others have already stated.
July 6, 200520 yr QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) This trade has a 25-75 chance of happening. We have to start hoping that Houston starts losing. Right now they are 6 games back in the wild card chase. You figure if they can go 10 back by the all-star break- Houston wouldn't hesitate to trade him. I say if Houston goes 10 back by the break- there is a 50-50 chance of the Rocket flying on over to the south-side. So we have to cheer for Houston to lose!! Houston likes to make their move in the second half of the season. I dont see them being a seller in this market. If anything I see them trying to make a move or 2 to help their team now to make a run.
July 6, 200520 yr This is a pointless thread.. after what Houston did last year there is no way they are sellers.. The offense is coming around and they could have a series shot at the Wild Card if they can pick up a solid piece like they did with Beltran last season

If anything I see them trying to make a move or 2 to help their team now to make a run. Thats the problem. There are not many teams that will be sellers until the last minute this season- the NL is bunched up with pleanty of average and below average teams still alive in the wild card race. So if we do indeed pick up another stud pitcher it will be last minute. So I say lets enjoy our team as is right now until that moment happens. We have an awesome team right now- lets enjoy them. All this trade talk- will be just talk for a while now. So lets all relax on these rumors and celebrate this awesome 2005 season. (But when that trade does happen we will celebrate that- but it wont be for a while)
