Offense. They have a fairly decent pitching staff. They need more offense to pile in more runs.

They definetly need to focus on hitting. The hitting market this year isn't that great but there are some stars with pop including Luis Gonzalez. If the Astros sign Gonzalez they have added a huge free agent splash. But it's going to take a little more than that maybe they can go for a bargain player Mark Lorreta who gets the job done. And They have to focus on pitching. Here the Top 15 starters this year on the market.
1. Jason Schmidt
2. Barry Zito
3. Mike Mussina
4. Roger Clemens
5. Tom Glavine
6. Andy Pettitte
7. Miguel Batista
8. Jamie Moyer
9. Vicente Padilla
10. Greg Maddux
11. Woody Williams
12. Ted Lilly
13. Brad Radke
14. Jeff Suppan
15. Gil Meche
If they get one of these guys they have a shot at contention

well, if roger clemens leaves, owswalt will have to carry the rotation, in my eyes, they need starting pitching, and some offense. Their closer slipped up a few times so a bullpen pitcher will help, but for the next 2 years the astro's should rebuild, and then make a run, mabye like the tigers or marlins.
