I understand trading away valuable talent to rebuild. However, I do not understand trading away young valuable talented fan favorites (Pence & Bourn) and getting jack **** in return. The Bourn trade was horrendous. We didn't get **** for him.

I hate the fact that we lost Pence. He was the only player left on the team that I gave a **** about (well maybe Bourn too). I don't know how the prospects we got in return will work out, but the players we got in our previous dealings with Philly has amounted to a giant hill of ****. They've done nothing. Now we have a team with no stars, and a farm system that is completely void of anything thanks to lousy drafting, recruiting, and development. It's going to be a LONG time before the Astros are anything worth watching again. We are the new Pirates.
