Player Notes
January 19, 2010
The Astros and Matt Lindstrom have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.625 million deal, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart.

Our View:Lindstrom is expected to close for Houston in 2010 following Jose Valverde's signing with the Tigers. Remember that Lindstrom wasn't that bad as Florida's closer last season before getting hurt, though his numbers were inflated by a few ultra-rough outings, specifically against the Phillies on April 24 when he gave up seven runs in 0.2 innings.

Updating a previous report, the Marlins received two minor leaguers, right-hander Robert Bono and shortstop Luis Bryan, for Matt Lindstrom, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:While Lindstrom will likely take over the Astros closing duties, assuming his elbow inflammation is under control, the Marlins receive a raw but promising duo in return. Bono, 21, was 10-8 with a 3.20 ERA in 25 starts at Single-A Lexington and Bryan, 19, hit .340 with two homers and 19 RBI in 106 at-bats in the Gulf Coast League.

ESPN's Peter Gammons reports that the Astros have acquired reliever Matt Lindstrom from the Marlins.

Our View:No word yet on what the Astros received in return, but this fills a desperate hole in their bullpen. They lost LaTroy Hawkins earlier today to the division rival Brewers, and their closer, Jose Valverde is a free agent. So it looks like Lindstrom may be asked to close in Houston, which would boost his fantasy value, but puts the Astros in a dicey situation as he held a 5.89 ERA last season.

The Marlins appear to be on the verge of sending Matt Lindstrom to the Astros, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Our View:The deal would likely bring Florida back a few lesser prospects. Lindstrom could potentially compete for the closing gig in Houston if the team fails to re-sign Jose Valverde.
December 6, 2009
Updating an earlier item, reliever Matt Lindstrom is as "good as gone" from the Marlins, according to Fox Sports.

Our View:Three teams are said to be zeroing in on the hard-throwing righty, and a trade is believed to be "close." Who knew having a 5.89 ERA could make someone so popular?
