Holy crap she actually went and talked to somebody on the team,

"I know very sincerely, Tim has told me, 'We're not marketing you, we're not trying to trade you,'" Lidge recalled. "'If somebody offers something that's just going to be amazing for our future, then we might have to do it. If not, we're not trying to market you.'

"I don't want to go anywhere. I know some people said some things to the contrary, but I certainly don't want to go anywhere." Link

So, put your Lastings Milledge back in your pocket.

The market is for Qualls or Wheeler. Lidge will not be traded.

The other day Zipp mentioned his brother Lingerings Milledge. But I was checking the BA minor league rosters, and apparently they have a no-account cousin who's been hanging around the Devil Rays organization for eight years and just won't leave. Goes by the name of Loiterings Milledge.

Reminds me of the Mathers family (the old one from New England, not the one from Leave it to Beaver) ... Maybe what the Astors need is Increase Milledge.

Inflatable Amusements Milledge?

At least, that's what he is to the New York sportswriting community.

No, Fistings is a lady. You're thinking of Stuffings Milledge.

And the half-assed brother, Run-of-the Milledge.

Or the ancestor with Inquisition problems ... Trouble at the Milledge.

No word concerning "Lastings? I didn't think much of the first of you" Milledge, Jim Molony sums up the Astros trade strategy as "The Astros, who are looking for pitching, a right fielder, a third baseman and catching, (The Usual) will listen to offers for their potential free agents -- Mark Loretta, Mike Lamb and Jason Jennings -- but aren't shopping any of the three." Link

Pato and a healthy Gagne are probably depressing the market for Lidge, hence why trade him? and pushing Qualls or Wheeler down the list as well.

Which is why Purp won't do anything before July 31. Unless of course some other team just gets stupid.
