There has been quite a bit of talk around Houston and on ESPN that has Adam Dunn going to Houston for Ezequiel Astachio, Taylor Buchholtz, and Fernando Nieve. Both Astachio and Buchholtz were a part of the Billy Wagner to Philly to trade. Buchholtz was supposed to be main guy but Astachio has turned quite a few heads. He has become the Astros Best prospect (i think). Fernando Nieve has made major improvements and was just called up to either RR or CC, I forget which. Both Buchholtz and Astachio have ace type stuff and Nieve is in the mold of a number 2 or 3 type starter.
This would surenly deplete the Astros farm pitching except for 1 or 2 guys. But then again Dunn is only 25 and he could do wonders at MMP. So you never know.
