Feliz Signs with Astros

[Scrat1]

Kouzmanoff!!!!!

Gotta agree with this.

Kouzmanoff!!!!!

God bless you! That was a sneeze...right?

If true it's another in a list of acquisitions that begs the question, "Ed Wade still has a job, why?"

I'd rather stick with Wigginton and hope he bounces back offensively than sign a guy like Feliz who is just as bad if not worse offensively.

[Maverick2143]

He's going to be an Astro.

Crede wants to come here. I think he might be a possibility if his medical records check out. I think we are also in on Kozmanoff.

As much as it pains me to think of Wigginton as our everyday 3b next season I didn't see Feliz as an upgrade. And I'm still hoping we can work out a Pie/Gordon swap...

What he said. I am hoping beyond hope that a deal can materialize with the Royals, and we can end up with Gordon.

PS) I think we should be a bit more agressive in our pursuit of Beltre, now that the Sox are out of the mix. I just don't want the Os to give him a 4 year contract. I say throw a ton of money at him for 2 yrs. If he wants more contract security show him the door.

How are the Red Sox out of the mix? They might be trading Lowell, and then offering Beltre a contract, and keep Youk at first. Did you hear they're out of the mix?

He wants to come here!?!?!?

Crede must be desperate. :laughlol:

Astros fans aren't too happy.

What's the most recent news on Tejada? Any official pursuers?

Maybe its me, but I really hope we don't end up with Gordon. I think that Bell is a better prospect out of he and Snyder, so shouldn't we be looking for a long term solution at 1B and a stop gap at 3B if people agree with me here?

I realize that KC would be making a bad move to trade Butler, but I would toss in the extra parts to get him if possible and then we have a long term solution at 1B. Throw them Pie, Snyder, and a lower level arm and see what makes them bite. Get a 1-2 year guy for 3B and let Bell make progress and show up when he's ready.

It's confirmed.

Tomorrow: They trade Roy Oswalt for Ty Wigginton.

This is from the Baltimore Sun article about thrid base..

Another of Scott Boras' clients, Joe Crede, is interested in playing in Baltimore, but his durability issues - he has played in fewer than 100 games three straight seasons - are likely too problematic for the Orioles to overlook.

It's official... Feliz is an Astro.

The Sox traded Lowell to the Rangers so that they can pursue Beltre.
