How would you grade the Astros' offseason?

    Hi guys, we're going to be closing MLBTR down effective on April 30th. I can't find any "writers" who can write one simple article without spelling, grammar, or player name errors, so Jeff Todd, Steve Adams, and the other losers will be out of jobs!

    I feel that before the Cole trade the Astros were sitting at a B/B-. The bullpen additions definitely shored up (at least on paper) the teams biggest weakness in the playoffs. I wish they would have went with another closer seeing as how the skipper Hinch lost faith in Giles.

    Once the trade for Cole was made though, the offseason was an easy A. The team hit a rough spot last year in late July early August (I believe) when a couple starters landed on the DL. The have McHugh coming out of the bullpen is huge in my opinion. Now if a starter goes down the team has extra options without having to rush some minor league guys. Although I think Bukaskas and Whitley (maybe because of the suspension now) both see some time in the majors next year but the Stros don’t can take their time.
