Sometimes teams today willingly limit their future for the sake of immediate gains. The Houston Astros come to mind in this respect when they traded away their center fielder, Myles Straw, as well as one of their youngest and most promising sluggers, Abraham Toro, for some relief pitching. Straw’s eplacement dropped a catch in the following game for an error. Toro played against the Astros in the next two games for Seattle and hit two home runs. The game after the Astros left Seattle he hit a double and ran like an olympian for a single. He will most probably be a standout player for years to come. Houston hopes the added relief pitching will improve their chances of winning in this year's post season.
