Tim Purpura was adamant in spring training that he wouldn't consider trading Brad Lidge. "I think so, yeah," Purpura answered when asked if his position was the same. "Obviously you're always doing an inventory of who you have and if you get into a situation where you have excess in a certain area you might look at that, but at this point I don't feel we're in that position. I'm not in any kind of a rush mode to move any player right now. "What we're trying to do is evaluate our team. That's what you spend the first month or six weeks doing. You look at your team. Yeah, if you have an injury or something horrible happens then you might have to make moves. You evaluate what you have. If we evaluated on a short sample you make a lot of mistakes." Multiple scouts say their teams would love to take Lidge away from the Astros, but Purpura isn't sold that Lidge is at a point where he needs the proverbial change of scenery yet. "I don't have that thought at all (about a change of scenery for Lidge)," he said. "Our focus is on getting him back to what he can be and what he has been. The physical tools are there for him to be as successful as he ever was. There's no doubt about it."
