On cards talk someone is saying a radio station in houston is reporting that they got Huff for Lane and 2 prospects. Dont know if this is true but this would be a good pickup for them if it is. Edited by reggiemiller rules

Also relating to Texas baseball, via Will Carroll, A Dallas radio station is saying that the Rangers are close to sending Soriano to the Mets for Cameron and Milledge.

Is that a period, exclamation point or question mark?

I havent seen a link, it was just a rumor someone from the Houston area posted hearing on the radio. So it may be true it may be not.

 

Then don't make a declarative statement in the thread title. I'm sure a number of posters would appreciate it if you edited a question mark in the title.

I'm curious to see if this deal is true. If it is, I'd like to see what prospects they gave up to get Huff.

 

Given Lamar's demands for prospects, I would be surprised if the deal was equivalent to Gerut + Marshall + Hill for Huff on the Cubs end.

Anyone who makes a trade with TB & Chuck Lamar will get fleeced. See the Kazmir for V.Zambrano deal. Even if the Astros do get Huff, which would be a nice acqusition for them, they will have to overpay big time! That is why no one wants to make deals with C.Lamar. Huff is good, but in no way is he worth the farm!

I, for one, am glad that we're not giving away the farm for a player such as Huff. I have faith that Hendry will not overpay. If Houston lands Huff, you can be sure it at the expense of their future. This is only good news for the Cubs.

In the longterm, Kazmir for Zambrano will probably be a bad trade for the Mets, but right now, Zambrano is pitching better than Kazmir. He has a higher VORP, a lower ERA, fewer walks, much better runs prevented, etc.

 

Kazmir is ten years younger than Zambrano, and we assume he will get better than he is now, but in the present, Zambrano is the better pitcher.

At the time he was traded, Kazmir was considered by many people to be a top 5 overall prospect, the top left handed pitching prospect, and the #2 pitching prospect (behind King Felix) in all of baseball. Although I think Victor Zambrano is a decent pitcher, a prospect like that should net you much more than just a decent pitcher in a trade. It was also absolutely bizarre considering how far out of the race the Mets were when they acquired Benson and Zambrano last season.

Haha. Gotta love the trade deadline. I think the fact that Houston websites don't seem to even know they've traded for Huff makes me think that this is a bogus rumor.

Bruce Levine was on ESPN 1000 a little while ago and said the Cubs were also trying to get Soriano. All I have to say is get the deal done quick Minaya. I don't want Soriano anywhere near this team.

Nothing on any of the Dallas newscasts about Soriano going to NY and he's in the line-up tonight for the Rangers.
