Going into the World Series, the Red Sox have 2 former Astros on their roster - Lugo and Curt Schilling. The Rockies have 3, all from that trade - Taveras, Hirsch and Buchholz (Steve Finley and Tom Martin retired mid-season).
In four of the last six World Series, it seems it paid to have the most former Astros on the roster. See ya, Red Sox.
