Re: Is Lidge Back!?
As an Astros fan, on the whole I'm happy with the trade. Lidge becomes a free agent after 2008, and we picked up a solid center fielder who is cheap and will be under our control for a while. A decent 3B prospect is nice, too.
That said, the Astros bullpen needs a ton of help, and losing Lidge does hurt. Wade is talking about going after Cordero, but I'd hate to spend that kind of money without fixing the rest of the bullpen first.
