Rumor: Willis to the Astros?

[ZMovieman]

SI.com posted a clipping from the Austin-American Statesman with the following to say:

 

Here's an interesting rumor: The Astros get Marlins ace Dontrelle Willis and have to give up only starting pitcher Wandy Rodriguez and Round Rock outfielder Charleton Jimerson. Of course, if the Marlins were interested in pulling off such a trade, they'd probably insist on Double-A outfield sensation Hunter Pence and Triple-A ace Jason Hirsch. -- Austin American-Statesman

 

One would have to imagine that it would cost more than that for Willis, right? Right? I don't want to imagine the Astros with any more quality starters.

If he can be had for Wandy and Charleton, we ought to be able to pick him up for Marshall and Buck Coats.

That deal isn't going to happen. It's not even worthy of discussion.

No kidding, that seems way too cheap, considering the Angels have much better prospects and are probably interested.
