    All of the relievers have been Left Handers. I doubt Sipp has any value and we need another LHP reliever too.

    Agreed, but that leaves me hopeful the Astros are working toward getting something done that is impactful.

    Only good thing about that is it will be that much sweeter if we take them.

    Tate roughly equivalent to Albert Abreu; not too bad a deal for the Rangers if that's all they gave up.

    That's all it took to get Beltran? Tate has been pretty bad in A ball.
