The interest in a center fielder speaks volumes about how the Astros feel about Luke Scott. He ended with decent numbers, but his first-half production was bad. He was also in the training room way too much to please some people in the organization.
First of all, why so much longing for a centerfielder? I remember the Astros having a pretty nice one. What's wrong with this Hunter?
As for Luke Scott, I first noticed him punshing Venezuelan pitchers a few years ago. While he hasn't performed as highly in the majors, what he provides with the bat is pretty decent (.255/.351/.504 last year). While no longer young, he is still cheap, so I don't understand the rush to move him. Being on a team in the downward slope of the success cycle, he helps the Astros from falling too far down.
