Brocail the second Padre heading for Houston

Doug Brocail became the second Padres free agent to head for Houston, signing a 1-year deal on Tuesday.

Unlike the Astros signing of Geoff Blum, I can't say I care about losing Brocail. He did a decent job at certain points last year but he also caused a lot of heartburn in other situations. And with Kevin Towers' rep for finding cheap, solid pitching - I am sure this is one loss we can overcome.

However, it would be nice to actually sign someone this year. A CF perhaps?
