If Pitt ate almost all of Doumit’s salary, and we gave up only a non-prospect for him, that would work. Otherwise, stick with JR and Q. Astros won’t contend anyway.

Can I interest you in Jesus Flores?
squadwagon6
trade us a pitcher for flores
DCD+in+Indiana
You guys can have Mathis and Callaspo for Chris Johnson. Hell, we might even throw in Brandon Wood.

I will guarantee Reuben Amaro is trying to convince Ed Wade to build a trade around Bill Hall (or maybe Hunter Pence, LOL) for Brian Schneider, Blanton/Kendrick, Matt Rizotti, and a utility infielder (Wilson Valdez, Pete Orr, Josh Barfield, Delwyn Young, et al) and maybe even throwing Maybery’s name in the mix right now.
Hell, he may be figuring out a way to swap 18 million in salary for Carlos Lee…
They LOVE dealing with each other, and Ed Wade is a moron….

Bengie Molina? Costs less than Doumit and you don’t have to give up anyone.

When you talk about Doumit as a “catcher”, the quotation marks are required.

Would love Bengie on a 1 year deal for a couple of mill

isn’t bengie type-A? i don’t know if any non-contending team would want to give up draft picks for him.

Texas did not offer him arbitration, so the team that signs him will not have to give up a pick. I thought Molina’s main thing was he wanted playing time, not to be a backup. So if they throw a few million his way, he might bite.

Maybe they could pull a Pedro Feliz like last year, or I-Rod a couple years back. Sign a guy, watch him build value (or suck) and trade him at the deadline for something. You get something for a modest investment, and you make the ballclub look better on paper for the sale.
