Default Aubrey Huff to the Astros

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2517046


As a Rays fan, I am really excited about this trade [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Both prospects they are getting look to be pretty solid, though Zobrist is a bit old(25).

Think it's worth it to use your #1 waiver spot in an NL only league?

who else is available?

Aubrey Huff tends to have pretty good second halfs.

I would expect a .300 average with about 15 homers and 40 RBI. You can probably play him at 3B, too.

Also, I don't really see why you think this trade will improve his fantasy numbers other than his usual 2nd half improvement. Top of the Rays order is pretty solid.

do you see any other AL teams selling any better players, let alone to an NL team? i think this is an easy take.

The Trop gives a pretty decent advantage to pitchers, while Houston plays pretty neutral but increases home runs.

Zobrist is 25 and only in AA? He's got nice avg and obp numbers, but no power. Talbot looks like he made a big improvement this year and is striking out a lot more. They both look like mildly interesting prospects.

The Devil Rays could have got a ton more a couple years ago, wtg chuck lamar.

Will the change in leagues enable Huff to get back on the juice?
