2017 Rule 5 Draft: Astros select Gose, lose Hernandez
Oh the tangled webs general managers weave.
In July of 2010, then-Astros-GM Ed Wade swapped franchise ace Roy Oswalt to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for J.A. Happ, Jonathan Villar, and Anthony Gose. He then immediately tossed Gose up to Toronto for Brett Wallace, the first in a line of top prospects who were meant to replace also-dealt franchise icon Lance Berkman. Pretty much none of that series of moves worked out for anyone involved.
