Lee did not want to sign here was the main reason they dealt him. They are basically getting Oswalt cheaper than Lee and the extra year since Houston sent 11mm here in the trade. Yes I would rather have Lee but this is a no risk all reward trade

It looks like to me, he is correcting his mistake with Lee by getting Oswalt. Now, if he would have kept Lee, they would be leading the division in my opinion and have the best 2some if not 1-3 in baseball.

i thought philly was on the high horse about the happ kid, so don't see how it could be no risk when you get an aging righty. i'm sure his numbers will improve now that he's on a team that can actually score runs but young leftys go a long way. i have to admit i have never been an oswalt fan.

WERTH AINT GOIN NO WHERE,, at least noy yet........The Astros and Phillies finalized a deal on Thursday that sent Oswalt to the two-time National League champions in exchange for left-hander J.A. Happ, Minor League shortstop Jonathan Villar and Minor League outfielder Anthony Gose, who was then flipped to the Blue Jays for first-base prospect Brett Wallace.

Team is built to win right now, Happ is nice but Oswalt is better

i thought dealing cliff lee was b/c they didn't have enough money to keep him & happ. so why now do they deal happ for oswalt?? oswalt over lee....
