Oswalts Looking for a Trade?
Via MetsBlog.com, Roy Oswalt put himself on the trading block:
If the Astros approached Oswalt and told him it would be better for the franchise's future to trade him, he told the Chronicle two weeks ago he would consider waiving his no-trade clause. During the Astros' four-game series against the Mets, Billy Wagner told Oswalt that playing in New York isn't that bad.
Back at MetsBlog:
...i don't see why the Astros would trade him considering they've got a sweetheart of a deal at $73 million over five years...why would they have bothered signing the extension in the first place....
That's exactly why you trade him. With a low cost deal, you can get more in return.

Now that's a heck of an endorsement: "...playing in New York isn't that bad." In the same vein:
Baghdad isn't as dangerous as you might think.
The Sahara is actually kind of refreshing, in a way.
The plague? Could be worse.
No matter what your high school counselor might have said, you really should consider a career in trash hauling.
Amazing how nobody reads the rest of this poorly written article. Later (towards the end!), Purpura says Lee, Berkman and Oswalt are the core of the team and untouchable. Oswalt's going nowhere.
If the Astros do trade anyone, I sure hope Poopoora isnt the one that pulls the trigger.
Never going to happen. Not a snowball's chance in he**.
roy was trying to be diplomatic. he ain't goin nowheres. if he didn't want to stay in houston he wouldn't have signed a contract during the season
drayton mclane is a lousy talent evaluator anyhow so i can't imagine what a terrible haul he'd get for roy
for all yall not in the houston area - purpura is a yes man and drayton runs the show
and berkman said VERY firmly he wasn't going anywhere
