Uggla, Gilmartin and cash for Jose Altuve. Who hangs up first?

The Astros need RBIs and play in a bandbox. The Braves need d, on-base, and leadoff.

Well?

I'm struggling to think of why the Astros would even start to consider that.

They wouldn't. They would hang up and probably refuse to ever talk possible trades with the Braves again.

They need pitching, they need RBIs. But yeah, mostly I was just funnin'.

The Astros just signed Altuve to a 4 year extension, so I'm pretty sure they hang up first, if they even answer the phone.

 

[Enscheff]

The Braves need on base and lead off? Check the OBPs for Altuve and Uggla. They are identical. Might as well just bat Uggla leadoff (which wouldn't be a terrible idea).

Astros need RBIs? Why? The Astros need to build a young core and get better, not trade for an expensive aging power hitter.

Astros DO need good young pitching, but not many will agree Gilmartin qualifies right now.
