In their latest deal the Pythons send Moises Alou, Dustin Hermanson and Tom Glavine to an already talented Christian's team of Florida. In return the Pythons get yet another 2nd round rookie pick along with Mark Mulder. Mulder apparently is being brought in to provide another sort of leadership that Nolan Ryan hasn't been able to provide to there young leaders. It is expected that Mulder, who's 28 will be able to interact more with the Pythons young guns like Josh Johnson, Zach Duke, Chien Ming Wang and Chuck James. "Mulder is a guy we are not banking on to be a savior if not a leader who can provide clubhouse leadership. Mulder's only 28 and yet he has the rep. of being an ace. Most importantly we acquire a 2nd round rookie pick, we love loading talent and this is another opportunity at doing so." This deal gives the Pythons a total of four 2nd round rookie picks and two 3rd round rookie picks in next year. "We advice contenders to contact us as we may have the missing piece to your puzzle!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19785015-115181728416595339?l=lp2baseball.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lp2baseball.blogspot.com/feeds/115181728416595339/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19785015&amp;postID=115181728416595339' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19785015/posts/default/115181728416595339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19785015/posts/default/115181728416595339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lp2baseball.blogspot.com/2006/07/homestead-looking-towards-future.html' title='Homestead looking towards future?'/><author><name>Pythons</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02414248455959382158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13881856390863914282'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry>
