The Astros need to bring in two new catchers as the ones they have are awful. The Astros will likely kick the tires on Ivan Rodriguez, Jason Varitek, Paul LoDuca and Michael Barrett for the starting job. Gregg Zaun, David Ross, Henry Blanco, Eliezer Alfonzo and Javier Valentin make sense as possible backup catchers. The Astros could likely use 2-3 starting pitchers and they will have their eyes on three pitchers from the past. Randy Johnson, Andy Pettitte and Randy Wolf will likely all be considered by the Astros. From the right side the Astros will likely give Jon Garland, Braden Looper, Paul Byrd, Pedro Martinez and Brad Penny phone calls. The Astros will likely look to add a veteran righty to help out in the bullpen. Russ Springer, Kyle Farnsworth, Juan Cruz, David Weathers, Chan Ho Park and Bobby Howry will probably be considered. If the Astros fail to sign any of those relievers then they will likely re-sign Doug Brocail who pitched pretty well for them last season.
