Frankly, we could use a 21 year old anything.
What good would that do? Rube & co. would wait 'til they're 26+ on the count of they need "seasoning."

I assume the 4th is Domingo Santana who was 18 when we traded him, and he's now batting clean-up in AAA OKC with a batting average above .300, power, and ... oh he's a RH hitting RF. We could use 21-year old one of those...
Was Jeff Luhnow the GM that had his way with Ruben on that deal? Jesus. What a terrible trade.
Nah, I think that was Wade at the time. One of the few good moves he did for that organization.
He made a few good moves for them. There was also the time he got a nice haul from the Phillies for Roy Oswalt, and the time he got Michael Bourn for Brad Lidge.
Remember when people used to joke about how the Phillies kept fleecing Ed Wade?

And the Lee trade was abysmal.
It was Happ/Gose/Villar for Oswalt
2 of those players aren't on Houston and the 1 left stinks.
Just saw that Anthony Hewitt (1st round pick several years back) was demoted to Clearwater, the kid is 25 years old playing with teenagers.
