Wade slowly putting pieces together

Houston's signing of Doug Brocail may seem like no big deal, but a few more of these little moves and new Astros GM Ed Wade will have put together a decent bullpen.

Brocail had a wonderful season for San Diego and is a former Astro. The veteran right-hander will give the reconfigured Astros pen a boost in the leadership department.

If Wade can find the right closer, Houston may make a big jump forward this season.
