Hundred Mile Giles is heading to the Houston Astros for a bunch of players, and this blogger misses him already.

Told #Astros trading pitchers Vince Velasquez, Brett Oberholtzer and Brian Fisher to Phillies for closer Ken Giles, pending physicals.

In his first major trade as Phillies GM, Matt Klentak has sent closer Ken Giles to the Houston Astros for four players -- two pitchers (Velasquez and Oberholtzer), a outfielder (Fisher), and an unknown fourth player.
