August 19, 201511 yr he was traded to the astros as part of the Cosart trade. There's a good shot he becomes the best player in that trade. Dude is raking for the astros.

August 27, 201511 yr They did do very well at the trade deadline. Ege and Telis from Texas look like very good relievers/backup catcher and Pineyro from the Haren deal has been unreal in AAA so far.
August 30, 201511 yr I'm glad we threw this guy in that trade. We clearly have way too many prospects so giving one away like this isn't a big deal.
August 31, 201511 yr complaining about this is pointless to me. The ultimate hindsight. This guy was nothing special in our system so to complain when the astros get better results is pointless. Bad player development, yes, but you can't complain about him being traded. Things like this actually happen a lot, granted not to this extent. Some players and teams just succeed in some places after not being able to succeed in others.
