From John Carroll at Baseball Prospectus:

The source tells me that the Rangers would send Brad Wilkerson and Rod Barajas to Houston for Brad Lidge, Morgan Ensberg and Fernando Nieve.

Now, I'm a Wilkerson apologist. I think he's hurt, and once he has surgery he'd be a really nice player in our outfield. He works pitchers really well, and is underrated defensively.

All that said, I have a hard time believing that can actually be real proposed trade. That would seem to be absolute thievery, unless Ensberg has a contract they're trying to unload. Even then, that seems ridiculously one-sided. Carroll said later in that article that that is the package the Astrols offered for Tejada. Surely it would take more than Wilkerson and Barajas to get that same package....
