Hello,
According to Astros.com, Brad Lidge will no longer be the Astros closer. Let the cheering begin. I know I can remove a certain nasty “quick text” from my cell ( F**king Lidge! ). And if he thought he got boo-ed here in Houston, ha! wait until he get some of the authentic Phillie lovin’. Anyways, the story…
Houston traded closer Brad Lidge and utility infielder Eric Bruntlett to Philadelphia late Wednesday night in a five-player swap that landed outfielder Michael Bourn, right-handed reliever Geoff Geary and Minor League third baseman Michael Costanzo.

So, now how’s going to be the Astros closer? Remember Wheeler is in Tampa Bay, now Lidge is in Philadelphia. Wade mentions in the article that they aren’t going to designate Chad Qualls as a closer [yet] but really who can fit into that spot? Personally I’m not a fan of closer-by-committee.
side note, Bourn is a Houston native and played college ball at University of Houston.
