Hmm, I wonder if you are going from the assumption that most of the
asteroyds are solid rock through. You see, according to what I have
heard most of them are actually looselly bound by theyr own gravity
piles of rubble.

I suspect that most of them would come apart if anyone would attempt
to shift them.

Well, that would all depend on HOW we chose to try and move them, yes? If
by nuclear explosives, or possibly even chemical or nuclear rockets,
perhaps. If instead by mass-driver, ion drive, or solar sail, most probably
not.
