So far Wade has acquired Tatum, Bixler, and now Buck and Flores. I like taking a flyer on Buck especially on a minor league deal so he wont occupy a roster spot. He was once a top 50 prospect back in 2007 so the upside is there. I think that the Craig Tatum move signals the end of Humberto Quintero as an Astro. Q is getting more expensive as a backup, and Tatum is another defensive first catcher that is cheaper and ranks a little higher than Q defensively as well. Bixler...meh. Flores, nothing to lose here. Relievers are volatile, and I never really get to excited about them until they perform I see them in the majors. Looks like more depth moves.
