    ERA in the mid-high 3's the last few years. Poor WHIP last year but pretty good the 2 years before that. Throws 93-94 MPH, has a pretty good K rate.

    Don't really know much about him but looks like a decent pickup.

    potential closer. seems like a guy that could rack up saves and be traded on the stats..

    What's the record for most consecutive #1 picks in the ML Draft? I feel like the Astros should achieve something

    Hopefully we can nab one more before we hit an upswing.

    With our new division, we might get 3-4 in a row.

    Veras has bounced around a bit. The Astros will be the 6th different team he's played for since 2009 and the 4th team he'll be on in 4 seasons. He's been a pretty steady 7th-8th inning guy the past few years.
