Houston Press sets its sights on John Lopez

It's a pretty good article. Apparently John Lopez on his radio show said something to the effect of it being irresponsible if the Astros don't go after Roy Halladay.

Royal:
The Toronto Blue Jays aren't going to want to trade Halladay for just anybody. They're looking to stock the team with young, inexpensive talent. They don't want Carlos Lee and Miguel Tejada. They're going to want the likes of Hunter Pence, Michael Bourn, Bud Norris, Yorman Bazardo, and Jason Castro.

Absolutely true. Then...

He then went on to say that the Astros can't bring up Bud Norris and Yorman Bazardo -- the team's best pitching prospects -- from Round Rock during the middle of the pennant chase because the pressure might prove to be too much.

Hm.
