The Astro's offseason has been pretty good with the three signings of Loretta, Lee, and Williams, but, I can't help but think that they need one more person. I look at the roster and see that we have every postion covered by great players and even some of our Bench players could start for other teams, so why do I have this feeling like we needs someone else, i think even if clemens decides to come back I would have this feeling. Just about the only thing that we could actually fit someone is in the bullpen, but, ours was one of the best last season.
I think Traschel is worth a minor league deal with incentives...he imploded at the end of last year but he is certainly as good or better, imo, than a guy like Moehler or Wandy
He's just as big a ? as the young guys. Minor league deal? Sure. It's interesting that the Nats want no part of him, playing in a pitchers' park and desperate for pitchers.
I agree, Astros will need to make a move around the all star break if they want to be a serious threat to win a world series so as of now lets hope everything goes well ie. Ensberg, Woody, Lidge and the rest of the question marks.
