Cardinals Talk & The Asinine Astros

-The St Louis Post-Dispatch reports that talks have cooled with the Jays for SP AJ Burnett and the Rockies for a number of players including Brian Fuentes. They tried dealing for Jon Rauch and Damaso Marte before they were dealt. Fuentes, Ron Mahay, George Sherrill, Eddie Guardado and Will Ohman are still available and they've had talks about Giants IF Rich Aurilia and Padres OF Brian Giles though the team is reluctant to deal top shelf prospects.
-The Houston Chronicle reports that the Astros will have a scout on hand when Freddy Garcia has his workout. First the Randy Wolf trade and now this? Why are the last place Astros acting like they're contending for the playoffs? Am I missing something?
-Former Astros prospect Jason Hirsh will likely start for Colorado tomorrow.
-Nats SS Christian Guzman has a right thumb contusion and will likely miss the next couple of days, says the team website.
