I don't have a problem with the Randy Wolf deal, because they didn't give anything up to get him. But yeah, that team is hilarious. Berkman is on another planet, Lee is having the best offensive year of his career, they've won five more games than their component stats suggest they should have... and they're still nowhere close to relevant. There's no organization that has less of a future than the Astros do.

Does that bode ominously for the chances of moving Fuentes and/or is Jim Bowden just an idiot?

I think Bowden's just an idiot. Fuentes is one of the best lefty relievers around (and the best one available), and comes with draft picks attached... that's a valuable commodity. A team like Milwaukee or St. Louis should be willing to give up quite a bit for him.
