My faith in Luhnow is dwindling with how this is being handled. The Astros are appearing to be cheap rather than strategic. I'm guessing they are going to start Springer in the minors next year and not bring him up until June.

From mlbtraderumors:

The Astros have acquired right-hander David Paulino from the Tigers as the player to be named later from the July trade that sent Jose Veras to Detroit, tweets MLB.com's Jason Beck. The Astros received outfield prospect Danry Vasquez as the centerpiece of the trade.

Paulino, 19, made four starts for the Tigers' Rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate this season and was very impressive in the process. The Dominican native allowed six runs in 20 innings for a 2.70 ERA with an impressive 22-to-2 K/BB ratio. In a separate pair of tweets, Beck notes that Paulino last pitched in mid-July and is currently on the 60-day disabled list in the GCL after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The Astros like Paulino's power arm and feel the injury is worth the risk. The trade will separate David from his older brother, Brenny Paulino, who has yet to pitch this year after missing 2012 with arm problems and undergoing shoulder surgery last June.

loss #100 indeed

the astros join a select group of franchises with 3 straight 100-loss seasons post-WWII:

Kansas City (2004-2006)
Toronto (1977-1979) - expansion team
NY Mets (1962-1965) - expansion team
Washington (1961-1964) - expansion team
Pittsburgh (1952-1954)

Hunter Pence is a free agent. Not saying he would come back to play for a bad team but putting him and someone like Springer in the same outfield and on the same team could do wonders for our locker room. those are both high energy guys that do things the right way.

I think you go after a right handed reliever for sure and don't worry about a lefty specialist because we won't be good enough to need one of those.

the 'stros finish 8-12 in interleague play. Which means the ballclub is only 43-89 vs. American League competition.

to date 53% of the 'stros wins are against the Mariners, Angels, or NL teams
