picked up local kid, Scott Kazmir to put a solid #2 starter in their pitching roster.

It's been a painful 5 years, but things are looking really good for the team with huge amounts of young, burgeoning talent like Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Marwin Gonzalez, George Springer (out with a broken wrist), and pitchers - Dallas Keuchel, Lance McCullers, etc.
