    Appel, Reed, and Martes. Mixed reports as to whether Moran is also included.

    Good pickup. Situational LHP.

    Junior Garcia... well, the Junior Garcia who has departed the organization, was the first six-figure international signing under Oz Ocampo.

    Necessary move by the Astros. Most of Perez' advanced stats are very solid. He can go an inning or two but as likely to be used against a tough lefty and then pulled. He used to be a fastball-slider-changeup pitcher but he has dumped the changeup. His fastball still sits at 91-92 mph and his slider is 78-80 mph. The slider is mediocre overall but his fastball is very good. Lots of misses and poor contact on the fastball. He throws the fastball about 60% of the time.

    Don't be shocked if you see the Astros make a run at KRod if he passes through waivers. The Astros would love to dump Feldman and a middling "B" prospect for KRod.

    Lots of success for Garcia this season but lack of swing and misses did raise a red flag with him.

    Seems like a real solid move. Left handed relief pitching is a need.

    He is very good reliever, probably will take Wojo spot

    Man I remember him back in Pittsburgh, he looked like he was gonna be a stud. Looking back at his career numbers, he was a terrible starter in all but 2 seasons.

    He's become a really good reliever though, this is a nice pickup. I'm sure he takes Woj's spot on the roster for now. Means were probably going without a long man for a little while.
