Brian Esposito, Anderson Hernandez, Casey Fien, and Ross Wolf were all signed to minor league contracts. Esposito, Hernandez, and Wolf should all remain in the minor leagues as they don't have the appropriate major league talent to be on the roster. Casey Fien has the ability to be a very good reliever if given a solid opportunity. Fien adds depth to the Astros bullpen.
