Backe responds

And it sounds like if he can, he's gone. A little clarification first: if Backe rejects his assignment, the Astros have 10 days to trade him or release him.

"I don't know what I want to do," Backe said. "I have to talk to my agent and to be honest, hopefully, some other team picks me up, and I can get to the big leagues."
