The funny thing is that the only reason the Astros signed Carlos Lee was because Carlos Beltran didn't stay. The difference is that, in 2011, Beltran still had trade value.
What angers me about the Astros is they trade their productive affordable players because they allegedly need to slash payroll but don't trade their overpriced underproductive players so they keep bitching about cutting payroll while keeping the overpaid sluggards.
When I was growing up, you dumped the bad players and kept the good ones. The Astros have turned that strategy on its head.
