I'm still not sure why so many of you have a problem with the Preston Wilson signing. The Astros got him for cheap, he's got a good collection of tools and is likely to get better another year removed from his knee injury. And best of all, we didn't give up anything to get him. His additude seems fine so I don't see him as an subtraction by addition type guy. Even if you don't think he's all that great, he's a better proven hitter than any of our current projected outfield (unless Berks ends up in the OF). If Bagwell isn't healthy, he can help cover that loss. And if Bags is healthy (not looking likely right now), then he provides another bat to make our lineup deeper.
Sure if his addition leads to another deal that you don't like, then you can bitch, but as it stands right now, I can't see why people think this was a bad move. It's not like there was anyone better for the same sweet deal.
