Cole is two years from free agency. He’s not a game changer. McCutcheon is one year from free agency, thirty and hasn’t made the all star team in two years. He’s on the downside of his career. Neither guy is worth stud prospects under the circumstances.

Cole is starting depth for Astros.  3rd/4th starter.  Astros will change how he pitches.  He will move to about 50% breaking balls.  Just a guess, but he has been faced with being traded for a year and a half.  I think the new scenery will give him a boost.

Musgrove will be very good for the Pirates.  Not sure about Moran (former 1st round pick), he seemed to stay a "top prospect" for a long time without advancing for Miami and Houston.  Feliz has a big arm, but was exposed a little when brought up to MLB.  Never heard of the fourth guy they traded.

Great trade for Houston.  Didn't really give anything up, got a decent starter with upside.
