Wigginton traded for wheeler

http://www.minorleagueball.com/story/2007/7/28/19526/6375

Just posting this becuse I know the Yanks had interest in both wheeler and Wigginton, and I think a few of the back up plan's are Gagne and Tex

So it probably increases yanks interest in those guys.

nice
astros had nothing to do with any of the trades, so nice to see them remove one of the trading options.

Forget Johnny Bench, we got Gerry "the Jet" Laird

Because
Tim Purpura is in over his head.

This deal makes no sense for the Astros.

Soriano
Two years ago, when the Rangers were trying to unload Soriano and the Astros had such a strong pitching staff but no one to protect Berkman, Purpupa refused to give up anything of value for Soriano, and when they went to the series, Berkman got walked half the time. Then, this past offseason, they give up a package of players we would have jumped at for one year of middling Jason Jennings.

Pathetic.

that jennings deal
almost rivals the CY deals as just such an obviously bad deal from day one
