          I don't think the SP will hold up either. I think the Astros front office knows this and that's why they didn't pull the trigger on any of the TOR pitchers that were available since that trade would have seen our depth at pitcher evaporate. I think we are going to need Musgrove and Martes to come up big time by the end of the year.

          Best case scenario is one or two of our young pitchers forcing their way into the rotation with a healthy Keuchel and McCullers.

                I think Luhnow thinks this team will be in contention, if not leading the division at the trade deadline. I believe this is when he will bring in a veteran pitcher. Musgrove or Martes could alter that but I still think he makes a trade for an established veteran pitcher near the trade deadline.

                        Anyone remember last year that the Astros put Keuchel and McCullers on an individualized throwing program in the offseason and during Spring Training? You remember how that worked out for both pitchers last season? Well this year they added McHugh to the program as well......guess who already has a sore shoulder and dead arm?
