Lance Berkman made some interesting comments, and it is putting a lot of rumors in motion...
"If it was me and I was running the show here, if we didn't make a great comeback like we did in '05 and be sort of around .500 by the All-Star break, I'd try to trade every veteran I could to reload. That's the quickest way you're going to be able to reload and get it going in the right direction. As a player, if they came to me and said, 'Hey, we've got a deal to go to a contender,' I'd take it. Heck, it's only a three- or four-month deal. It's not like I'm signing on for 10 years with another team."
Basically, I wanted to write about this, because I know the Sox will be tied up in these rumors. Listen, I don't want him here. He is another guy who is passed his prime, and his currently hitting under .200 with 2 HRs. Yea, no thanks, we got enough of those.
I do expect Berkman to be traded though, and it will be very interesting to see what the Astros can milk out of a team. Berkman is in the last year final year of the six-year, $85 million deal, so a lot of what they can get will depend on two things.
1. How he plays the rest of this year.
2. If he will be willing to sign an extension.
