    Confirmed: Pence won't be traded this season

    SI.com's Jon Heyman has confirmed that the Astros will not trade Hunter Pence at this year's deadline.
    The Astros were known to be shopping the 28-year-old outfielder at one point, and even drew interest from the Braves and Pirates, but the Houston front office apparently didn't find any suitable offers. Pence is batting .308/.355/.472 with 11 home runs and 62 RBI in 95 games this season. He's earning $6.9 million.

    Looks like he's staying put.
    Go Birds!!!!

    Jen Royle of MASN reports that the Phillies and Rays are discussing a deal involving B.J. Upton.
    The Giants have also considered adding Upton, who was made expendable when the Rays promoted outfielder Desmond Jennings from Triple-A Durham last week. Upton, 26, has a weak .229/.310/.395 batting line this year but has still tallied 15 home runs and 52 RBI in 95 games. He's under contract through the 2012 season.

    Do it!!!!!!!

    This is probably the most interesting player at the deadline. Have the Rays ever made a bad trade under Freidman? Ever?

    Amaro vs Freidman would be the ultimate saber vs non-saber matchup.

    Upton is such an enigma. He'd either become one of my favorites or one of my most hated ever.

    All depends what they'd have to give up for him. I'd much rather have pence if given the choice

    haha, yeah. It would. That's pretty funny.

    Yeah, man. He's gotta be frustrating to watch on a regluar basis. His OBP is hard to look at.

    stark writes some terrible columns, but he has good phils connections. his rumors usually have legs. I really hope they keep colvin


    •The Phillies are steering teams to their High-A Clearwater club, as they don't want to trade big leaguers and not to add much more than a million bucks in payroll. Jonathan Singleton, Brody Colvin, Trevor May, Sebastian Valle, and Jiwan James are names to watch there assuming Jarred Cosart is untouchable. Stark says the Phillies have cooled on Beltran and Hunter Pence is a long shot, so the focus is now the back end of the bullpen. Heath Bell is the top target, with Brandon League also on the radar.

    he pitched like shit. brown dove for a ball and it hit off his wrist. wasn't a tough play. that opened the flood gates for 4 runs to score in the 2nd (play of the game to this point).
