2. The Astros trading Jeriome Robertson for Willy Taveras and Luke Scott: This 2004 trade between Houston and Cleveland worked out quite nicely for the Astros. Taveras, who has sparked Houston's offense since moving back into the leadoff spot, just broke a club record by extending his hitting streak to 26 games. Scott possesses a .400 batting average since being called up on July 15, hitting right behind (and protecting) Lance Berkman much of the time.
So how'd the trade work out for the Indians? Well, Robertson just recently cruised through eight innings of one-hit ball, earning his third win in four starts ... for the Uni-President Lions of the Chinese Professional Baseball League.
