The Astros only have a $25 Million Dollar Payroll this year – and that includes paying Wandy Rodriguez ($6.5 MIL) and Chris Snyder (500k). Their highest paid player is Closer Jose Veras at $3.25 MIL this year.  They are in the same division where Texas is around $120 MIL – while the Angels are well over $150 MIL.  For this team to eventually compete, they will need to draft well – and then sign Free Agent players when the team is competitive enough in the AL West.  The Astros made the move to the American League after 50 seasons in the National League.
