    Astros Astros hire new GM

    Houston Astros hire former St. Louis Cardinals vice president Jeff Luhnow as general manager - ESPN
    The 45-year-old Luhnow had been a vice president with the St. Louis Cardinals since 2003. He has overseen the Cardinals' drafts for several years and was involved in selecting several players who contributed to their World Series championship this year, including Jaime Garcia, Allen Craig, Jon Jay and Lance Lynn.

    In 2006, Luhnow added player development to his duties. Cardinals farm teams have won five minor league championships since then.
    Not a bad resume right there. Good thing the Cards farm teams have been winning championships because Luhnow will basically be taking over a AAAA team.

    I think there's several AAA teams that would beat them at this point. Now it's time to trade away Wanda Rod. And get lucky to find a taker for Lee?
