Date	Question	Answer
2011-08-04 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Did the Astros trade Hunter for Pence on the pound sterling? Feel free to use that one. What one? (Simpsons reference) (Tbirds from Seattle)	Joke and Simpsons reference aside, the Astros got a very nice return on Pence. Kevin Goldstein had both Jarred Cosart and Jonathan Singleton among his top five prospects traded at the deadline, with Josh Zied among his potential sleepers. By comparison, the Astros got only one of the top 10 prospects dealt in the Michael Bourn deal (Brett Oberholtzer) plus one sleeper (Paul Clemens) AND they had to take on Jordan Schafer, who is the most obvious Astro in the history of obviousness.
