    Love The Astros Trade With Blue Jays

    Luhnow stocks up our farm system even more. I would not be shocked if we are in the Top 10 systems by the end of next year. I wish Carpenter, Lyon, and Happ the best, but they weren't part of our long term plan. The fact that Luhnow got what he got for them is awesome.

    Two worst teams in the league trading horseshit for horseshit.

    Jays have had a great system for years but not any where near contending.

    Astros and Jays fans should find new teams.

    I normally don't have anything good to say about Houston, but they did clean out all the crap in one swoop. That said, OMG! I Can't auto fade happ to big paydays anymore

    I know the pitchers weren't anything special- but does this make the Astros even worse in the short term?

    Astros can't be any worse in the short term. They already had a six man rotation, so losing Happ doesn't mean shit. Now it's time for Wandy to go to a contender .....

    this is just phase 1 for Luhnow. he'll surely flip cordero and/or francisco by the deadline for some more young blood. the mets could definitely use cordero.

    things looking up for the 'stros

    Closing Pitcher Myers (19/21 saves this year) gone for prospects to the White Sox.
