Bet there will be a LOT of scouts there on the off chance we move him at the deadline.

I remember one time reading an article that when the Astros were rebuilding, they were king of the "back fields", and were aware of all kinds of young prospects that were way under the radar. Based on the last 3 years of trades, seems like Elias has carried that over (with Perez's help) in asking for this young International signees that are well off the beaten path of coverage.

It would be nice to know we would take whatever savings we get and reinvest it into pitching, but don't think that's going to happen based on how the season is going. Would imagine we get a couple of 18 year old international kids back who Perez liked a year or two ago.
