I can't beleave this. Qualls is gone. I can remember his first year here and the fans were calling him Chad Balls because he walked alot of people. Now he was one I was hoping would stay. Dang it.

I thought Qualls was a very good set up man, but the need at closer was MUCH greater.  I hate to see Qualls go, but they did get a first rate closer.  Now if they could just shore up that starting rotation behind Oswalt?

Time will tell on Valverde.  I cannot agree that he is one of the best closers in baseball.  True he led the NL in saves last season, lets just hope he is not a flash in the pan type guy.  The Astros keep making these 3 for 1, 5 for 1 deals.  Hopefully they make some very good draft choices in the next 5 years.

It amazes me that all these years everyone complained that the Astros would never open the checkbook to get quality,all star caliber players instead they hung on to the deadwood "feel good story" players... but now the checkbook is open and the players are coming and yet people still complain.

but reggie abercrombie will be a solid backup in the outfield.
