They Traded Ensberg!

For several years I have been wishing that Morgan Ensberg was not the third baseman for the Houston Astros. He is not a particularly good defensive player, and his tendency to take called strikes irritated me no end. He must have thought he was a lead off hitter because he relished walks, his on base percentage was good enough, but he was in the line up in run producing spots. He needed to swing the bat.

I am surprised they got anything for him in the trade with San Diego, whether it be the player to be named or cash considerations. It is better to have him gone.
