Astros hitter Hunter Pence could be a possibility for teams looking for help in the outfield, but his price is expected to be high. Pence represents much more of a long-term commitment than other options, like New York's Carlos Beltran, and would require more of a blockbuster-type transaction. "I don't really hear any rumors because I'm not listening -— I control what I can control," Pence said. "I don't know of any trade rumors. It's out of my influence. I just go out there every day and I'm excited to be in (the) major leagues."
