They're saying we want two top minor leaguers, a third smaller piece and one major league ready piece as well.
I think if those two were involved it'd be two more minor pieces or one more major piece coming our way. I just hope that Jay isn't involved b/c w/ Pence, Michael Bourn and Lee he'd be relegated back to AAA. And if there's one area of relative strength in the Astros farm system, it's OFers.
I'm confused as to why STL is interested in doing this deal. If they give us 3 or 4 pieces that do work out they have to deal with this for potentially a decade whereas HOU probably wouldn't have to put up w/ Roy for more than next season, maybe two before age will start taking its toll.
I think of all the "interested" teams (STL, PHI, MIN) MIN can offer the best package, but none of them are willing to part with anything impressive as a centerpiece so maybe a deal around Jay/Boggs is the best we can do. Although, I'd prefer Shelby Miller/Boggs as a starting point. However, my logic never seems to be similar to the Astros so who knows!
