Shawn Chacon requested a trade after being removed from the starting rotation and in response the Astros suspended him, according to MLB.com. 'My agent and I have made it clear to the Astros that I would like to be traded and I don't want to pitch out of the bullpen. Nothing negative, nothing dramatic. It's simple. If you don't want me to start, let me go somewhere else to start because that's what I signed here for.'How about this Shawn. How about you pitch better than a below average hurler and force a team to keep you in a rotation? Poor K totals, too many walks, too many home runs allowed and terrible ratios equal a trip to the bullpen, even if your pride isn't allowing you to be honest with yourself.
