The 2007 Houston Astros were one of the more disappointing teams we’ve had this century. A big offseason brought in Carlos Lee, Jason Jennings and Woody Williams, but only one of those players was worth anything. After narrowly missing the playoffs in 2006, the 2007 squad stumbled to just 73 wins and a fourth-place finish. But during the season, an interesting trade took place involving Ty Wigginton and Dan Wheeler.
On July 28, the Astros were looking to upgrade the offense and sent Wheeler, one of their top relievers over the previous three seasons, to Tampa Bay in exchange for Wigginton.
