As a first-place team in the American League West that is destined for a deep run in October. The Houston Astros are looking for any way to improve upon the roster they currently have. Whether it is depth to the bullpen or another ace-like starter for the rotation, the Astros have the prospects to make a major deal happen before the month of July is over.
When Astros fans talk about David Paulino and Francis Martes, it is usually in the context of a trade rumor or a potential deal. It is easy to forget that both young right-handers are making a difference for a playoff-bound team at the major league level.
