Euzequiel Astacio

Any views on what he can do at the major league level? He's had a great spring and the Stros seem really high on him.

I have him in my keeper league, and im happy with the results hes put up so far. Hes exceeded all expectations since coming over as a "kicker" in the Billy Wagner deal. He throws a two-seam and four-seam fastball, has a great curve which is his K pitch and he just developed a very effective split last year. He projects as a very solid #3 pitcher but he could very well push that higher if he continues filling out and adds some speed to his fastball or develops a very effective off-speed pitch (which his splitter could become).
