Can anyone who has a minute break down our bullpen? I know we have Gregersom, Qualls and Neshek. Which are 3 pretty good relievers, but who else?

So which two will be dropped from the 40-man to make room for Hernandez and Thatcher?
Obie and Fields might start the season on the DL, so they may be able to hold off on roster moves for now.
Wojo better make it. He's earned it.
So what are we looking at from non pitchers..
Castro C/DH
Conger C
Carter 1B/DH
Singleton 1B/DH
Gattis 1B/DH/LF/C
Altuve 2B
Lowrie SS
Gonzalez SS/3B/2B
Valbuena 3B
Springer RF/CF
Rasmus CF/LF
Marisnick CF/RF
Grossman LF/CF
That would leave 5 starters and 7 relievers.
Have Hoes and Villar been sent down?

I think Grossman, Hoes and Singleton will be sent down and Presley and Villar nab the last two spots. M
Sounds like we might find out tomorrow.

Nothing less exciting than Alex Presley.
I think Grossman is more likely to get a spot than Presley
I would much rather have Singleton or Grossman than Villar. Dude just sucks
@brianmctaggart: #Astros moves: Fields, Obie and Peacock to start year on DL. Chapman, Hoes, Singleton to Fresno. Presley DFA
@brianmctaggart: Grossman, Harris, Marisnick, Villar and Wojo made The club

No, pretty much everyone expected him to be the starting CF
The only move I was really unsure of was Presley/Grossman. I had been hearing chatter that Singleton would be sent down.

I hope that is short lived and he forces his way up.

"New manager Rodney Linares takes charge of a Corpus Christi contingent which boasts six of Houston's top 10 prospects, according to MLB.com: SS Correa (1), RHP Appel (2), 3B Colin Moran (6), OF Teoscar Hernandez (8), LHP Josh Hader (9) and RHP Lance McCullers (10)."

The Astros announced that they've traded infielder Gregorio Petit to the Yankees in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Second baseman/outfielder Delino DeShields Jr. has beaten out Carlos Peguero for a spot on the Rangers' 25-man roster, tweets Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Who all did we get for de shields again?
Unfortunately, I think they picked him in the Rule 5
We didn't get anything for DeShields. He was never going to get a chance in Houston though
No crap? Didn't realize we left him unprotected. Was he a wade pick or luhow pick? I know he had speed but guess he could never get on base

4 days until opening day
If he is on the Rangers opening day roster, they are in trouble.

They just claimed rule 5 pick Logan Verett off waivers from the Orioles, too, so Texas will be carrying two rule 5 picks on their opening day roster.
So is this the year the rangers "fans" all go back to liking the Astros again?

Correct me if I am wrong, but if they want to move them down they are then placed on waivers. If not pick up then they are offered back to their old team. If not accepted then they go down.
