Buster Olney (and we know how some of you feel about Buster), says the Apparatus' philosophy on Myers is as such:
Astros' currenting marketing pitch on Brett Myers is basically this: "Overwhelm us with a huge offer and maybe we'll consider it."
Maybe if Lilly comes off the board soon (and with Westbrook looking at heading to St. Louis), it'll ramp up the market for Myers. But there's really no excuse to not get a deal done for Myers.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
