Kryptonite proof Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 The Astros welcome wigginton and designate Ensberg. Ensberg will either be traded or released Papura said sending him the to minors is not an option. So Ensberg is done as an Astro This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up
AJ25 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 yep. they still want to try to get something for him though. i heard that the giants are very interested in him...
Ruckdad Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 They will get nothing for Ensberg and like it. Why would any GM trade anything for him when they know he is going to be released a few days later. Just sign him off the open market at a reduced rate and go from there. And the Giants aren't going anywhere, and I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to offer him a multi year deal.He'll sign with a team like the Angels or Indians for bench help and end up winning the WS.
AJ25 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 thats just what i heard from espn. i bet the astros release him, and like ruckdad said, a team making a playoff run will pick him up

Ruckdad Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 He was on the radio her in Houston yesterday - And he is a standup guy. He took full responsibility for the way he has played, didn't blame the injury for it and thanked the Astros for the opportunity he had. He even cracked jokes about himself. I hope he gets picked up and can have a good run again.
SHS_ATW Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 Pretty funny considering he hit 2 HR's today for the Padres.
KFDM COOP Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 Haven't you ever noticed when players leave the Astros they suddenly become much better it seems like, It may just be me but i've noticed this for years.
Morgan Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 this is exactly why i hate the astros..........they trade their best reliever for a average 3B then trade away one of their best players!!!!!!!!!! they are stupid
AJ25 Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 you think ensberg was one of the best players?! ???

JohnnyT60 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 I like Ensberg, but it was time to go. He wasn't going to get it done in an Astro's Uniform. Became way to tenative at the plate. With that being said, I wish Him success.
AJ25 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 i liked him back in '05 when he hit 36 or so homeruns.. but these last two years, not at all great.. at all! lol
