Aubrey Huff Traded to Houston

The Cubs are horrible with or without Lee and Houston is still not as good as the Mets.

Sure, Huff's had great second halfs in the past, but his first half this year was particularly bad and he's coming off an injury. I suppose they can't really lose with what they gave up, but I'd hesitate to say it gives them much of an edge over the Cardinals. The Mets are lucky - they play in the National League.

I think the Yanks are targetting Abreu or Burrell.

take them...

Are there idiots out there that like abreu and burrell?! I mean, don't give me -1 without some sort of reasoning...ya killin me!

There's an epidemic of random negative votes today. I think the slow sports day has driven someone mad.

ESPN rumor mill was reporting the Yanks have been scouting Huff

He plays some OF and I think a little 1B too. Position-wise, he is very versitile.

I wonder where he fits in even with the outfield. Despite Ensberg's offensive struggles, his defense should keep him at third over Huff. Burke and Berkman fill two outfield spots, and they're not likely to get benched. That leaves Preston Wilson. Are they going to bench their big off-season acquisition now? For that matter, are they going to bench Lamb, who has been one of their best hitters this year? This move doesn't make sense to me.

he's played right field in the past
