Goodbye Dexter - UPDATED!

The Rockies traded Dexter Fowler to the Houston Astros today for a handful of magic beans. Sometimes they just seem to want to make a trade because that's what all the cool kids are doing and don't appear to really think things through. Hell, who knows? Maybe RHP Jordan Lyles and OF Brandon Barnes will turn out to be superstars! You know? Just like almost everyone else they've ever gotten in return for a trade.

The crime solving and serial killing
will have to begin anew in Houston.

Good luck Dex...UPDATED...and now the cobras have got Drew Pomeranz!

LHP Pomeranz, the center piece in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, got shipped off to Oakland for LHP Brett Anderson. Anderson, with a troubling history of injuries, could be a steal IF he stays healthy. And that is a GREAT BIG IF.

Pomeranz never seemed comfortable pitching. Saw him start for the Sky Sox about 20+ times and he only looked like he believed in his talent in 2 of those. A mind is a terrible thing to waste and can really let you down if you don't control it. We wish Drew luck with Oakland. Maybe he can find his groove there.
