Unless they trade Norris, I don't think we're in the market for free agent starters and if we keep Wright, I don't see the need for any lefthanded relievers. Kyle McClellan is still young enough to be a keeper and Luhnow would know all about him from their time with the Cardinals.

I'm not a Brendan Barnes believer so I'd like an outfielder who could play CF and possibly bat left-handed to team with Maxwell. Despite his age, Scott Podsednik would be a versatile fourth OF who can pinch-hit and not cost a lot. He has a .952 career OPS at Minute Maid too.

If we were spenders, adding Delmon Young might be a good move but if the ballplayer can't be found at Dollar Tree, I don't think the Astros are interested at this point.
