Happy with this upgrade.. gives me a legit set-up man to Allison for the remainder of the year. Seymour Seymour just took a boost, and if he fills out, is going to be a nice pitcher for Houston. Pickerel could be decent too. Miller was a throw in for taking on Lilly's expiring contract, so I don't feel too bad losing him.

Happy for both sides on this one.

I agree, both sides are happy here. Fuentes is a good pitcher, but was a FA after the season and wasn't going to be re-signed. I was looking for some good relief spects; Seymour and Pickerel, while flawed, will help that.
