Here's an
amusing rumor from the
Astros Locker:
"If the Yankees were to give up
righty pitchers Alan Horne, Ross
Ohlendorf, catcher Jesus
Montero and outfielder Jose
Tabata the
Astros would have to consider trading them Roy
Oswalt and Darin
Erstad.
Oswalt would fill a huge hole in the Yankees’ rotation and Darin
Erstad would give them some value off the bench in the outfield."
Four prime prospects for Roy
Oswalt:
NL ERA 5.04 (converts to about 6.00 when adjusting to AL lineups, WHIP 1.447.) and creaky Darin
Erstad. Who could pass that up? Besides, now that the Yank's have acquired
Ponson the "huge hole" will be filled (just don't ask with what.)
