Astros acquired RHP LaTroy Hawkins and cash from the Yankees for infielder Matt Cusick.
Good news and bad news for Hawkins. On the one hand, the chance to return to the NL should help his numbers and his chances of landing a significant major league deal this winter. On the other, the other teams that were after him, the Twins and Tigers, were legitimate contenders, while joining the Astros only guarantees that he'll have October off. He'll help set up for Jose Valverde. Cusick, a 2007 10th-round pick, was hitting .285/.356/.462 as a 22-year-old in low-A ball. He's unlikely to ever see the majors.
Wow, the Astros are dumb. I don't care how Cusick is. They have no need for Hawkins.

They get a draft pick when they don't re-sign him. No so dumb now since he costs nothing.

A draft pick nonetheless. Same reason they got Wolf.

They have to offer him arbitration first.

well, is he in the top 40% of statistics for a relief pitcher? because if he isnt, then the astros get nothing in return.

Dang, the Yankees get rid of Farnsworthless and LaTrash in the same day. Something must have clicked with Yankees management.

Good point. Maybe they are just auditioning Wolf and Hawkins for next year.
