I am also sad to see him go but I'm very disappointed as well. This deal was poor but our options were limited by Oswalt demands and his no trade clause.
This year Happ is 1-0 with 15 inning pitched. Welcome to Houston, the team of injured and old players that are cheap. I understand Happ was runner up in the Rookie of the Year voting, but he's only pitched in three games this year.
Houston agreed to pick up half of Roy's 2011 salary (about 11 million dollars). Also included in the trade is a minor league center fielder and a shortshop.
