Astros trade for Mike Lamb

Buck

Interesting tidbit I saw (I think on ESPN) was that the Astros and Orioles have discussed a Robertson or Duckworth for Buddy Groom (LH reliever) trade, but that it did not work out. If they got the 2002 Buddy Groom, that would help the team.

It would not suprise me to see them start with 11 pitchers and hang on to Ryan Thompson to start the season.

 

It is interesting. We have 2-3 guys who are proven starters (Robertson, Hernandez and Duckworth) who could easily step in if one of the Fab Five are injured. Chicago can't say the same thing.

 

To anyone interestd, I think the Astros Expos game today will be on ESPN 2. Starts at 12.

 

Thanks for the info, I will have it on at work.

 

i went home for lunch and watched the first two innings.

 

Lamb has a real upper-cut type swing.
