Jennings to Astros

up yours Kenny, this is why you wait

This should be us making this deal.

 

Horrible.

Totally disagree. We should have gotten at LEAST one more prospect out of that...just basing it on what the Rockies gave up.

This means we might get better. We'll see who loses out on Zito.

What are you smoking? Garland is quite a better pitcher than Jennings. He's right. Seeing how this is the exact same offer that they gave for JG, then Kenny is smart for backing down. Obviously, we wait until Zito is off the market, then we give up Vaz or Jon for a nice package.

As an Astros fan I am disgusted by this trade

You should be, you just got hosed.

Which is why I am glad they are just my NL team, unless Jennings turns into a superstar they got a prison pounding in this deal..

 

I guess it is better that we are waiting to make deals

Great move by KW not taking this trade IMO, Garland is a great deal more valuable than Jennings.

Even if Jennings turns into a superstar, the 'Stros only have him for 1 year before he hits FA.

Considering how great everyone says Hirsh will be, it's amazing that the Rockies got him AND Taveras/Buckholz for just Jennings. I still doubt that KW will rip a team off for Garland/Buehrle/Vazquez.

So who are the big buyers for SPs now?

 

Texas

Yankees

Mets

Cardinals

San Francisco

Blue Jays

Yankees are probably off that list, assuming they sign that Igawa dude. They have like 8 starters.

 

The mariners might fit on that list. The Red Sox may wind up on it in 3 days. The Angels might be outside guys, as might the Padres (both of whom have had at least a tepid interest in Zito). Who knows what the Giants might be wanting to do this season, committing to Bonds but Losing Schmidt. Arizona needs pitching to compete. The Reds need pitchers, the Brewers may also, but that depends on what either team will be willing to give up.

The Mets are getting desperate, and if Dice-K doesnt sign with Boston, I would put them on the list as desperate. They also need a closer.

From what I hear Texas, Yankees and Mets all have good pitching prospects.

I really believe that KW is waiting for Toronto to get desperate.

Trade for Wells, extend his contract, let Dye walk after 2007, move Anderson/Sweeney to right?

ummmmmm, the reason why Houston got so much (or the same amount for Garland) for Jennings was because we pulled Garland off the market from them.

 

If Garland was still available to the Astros, the Rockies wouldn't have netted them this much.

That, and another player that the Rockies added to the deal.

Does Ascencio really have any value? I remember him walking 4 consecutive Sox hitters on 16 pitches in April of 2002, plunking Frank in 2003 (Thomas was PISSED,) then bouncing around in San Diego and undergoing TJS.
