news174/ Astros/Angels trade final - Astros may have picked up a huge steal
[07.27.04]tue.[12:18pm]
SS-81 Lamar Radford (12m)LR to HOU for SS-3 Jay Walker (2m)RR, 2B-18 Myron Birch (2m)LR and (8m) to ANA.
That was the trade that went down at 12:17PM today. Radford whom is just 19 years old will be heading to the much young talented Houston Astros. Lamar Radford whom was the Angels lead off hitter who has great speed and decent power with great contact will be starting somewheres in the Astros starting line-up. It'll be interesting if the Astros will let Lamar steal as CH Harris the owner of the team doesn't believe in taking the bag as the team has yet to even attempt a steal all season. Jay Walker and Myron Birch are now heading to Anaheim. In the long run the Astros just got a huge steal unless Birch and Walker become better stars on the west coast.
