Rosenthal's Latest: Bradley, Haren

By Tim Dierkes [December 6, 2007 at 8:02am CST]

Ken Rosenthal checks in with the latest buzz.

The Astros might be "on the verge of a major deal." Rosenthal notes the availability of Chris Burke and Luke Scott plus the team's interest in Damaso Marte. He also says some clubs are after Houston's young pitching. Ed Wade spoke of two-way, three-way, and even four-way discussions before he hit the hay last night, but nothing seemed imminent.

Rosenthal says the Padres might have a better chance of re-signing Milton Bradley than Mike Cameron. He also implies that the Friars could reach a one-year agreement with Michael Barrett and then shop him.

Despite Hank's proclamations, Rosenthal says the Yanks are "lurking" on Dan Haren. Sounds creepy.

Ed Wade, if you trade any pitching so help me....

Oswalt
Woody
Wandy
Backe
Patton

Thats the starting rotation at this moment.

Wait, what was I thinking, solid rotation, obvious depth....is it to early to buy the playoff ticket?

The last Steinbrenner to do any lurking got kicked out of baseball for a few years.

Yankees lurking? Let's hope it's not the "Phil-&-Melky-are-burning-a-hole-in-my-pocket" syndrome again... Don't other teams need lesser stars?

I'd trade some of that young pitching if it got an Ian Snell/Damaso Marte package. Who the hell wouldn't?

The Astros do seem pretty set on being competitive in '08, after all.

I don't get how they could consider themselves competitive in '08 considering their pitching. It's just awful behind Oswalt. Woody is 4, Wandy is a 4-5, I have zero idea what to expect from Backe, and Patton hasn't proven anything yet. And their farm system is one of the worst in baseball. Give me the name of a good Astros prospect? Yeah I got nothing either, except maybe Towles or Albers.
