Kevin Slowey and the Astros


Why is there not more talk about the Astros swinging a deal for Kevin Slowey? Especially with word that Wandy's 32-year-old shoulder is bothering him. He fits directly into their re-building plans (27 years old this year) he has a career winning percentage of .650, doesn't hurt himself with walks, is left-handed and sounds like he would not be expensive to acquire. Rotation this year - Myers, Wandy, Happ, Norris, Slowey . . . rotation in 3 years . . . Happ, Norris, Slowey, Lyles, ??? . . . all four of those names would be in or before their prime pitching ages (29-33) and Lyles would still only be 23. The Astros could set ourselves up for years to come with a simple trade and make themselves look better to potential new ownership, the only question is, do we have what the Twins want for him?
