This was exactly my take on it. Probably a win-win scenario for HOU -- if they're in it, they made solid upgrades to their 'pen... if they're out of it, they can probably get more building blocks for the future. This is the case. Along with that, they're finally coming out of a two year period where pretty much no one in Houston could watch the games. It was a big fiasco, then drawn out in court. Now, there is a Root Sports channel for Houston, and it's pretty much available on every provider. So, I think they're trying to get butts in the seats. As I said before, a 3rd baseman will most definitely help! But improving the gas can that was the bullpen isn't a bad place to start, no doubt!
