Remaining free agent targets that could be difference-makers for Houston Texans

While most of the Texans' work has been done already in free agency, there are some intriguing names that are still available.

Leonard Floyd, Jadeveon Clowney, and Frank Clark are just a few players mentioned that the Texans could add to the team.

Of course, Clowney gets the most attention in the group among Texans fans because of his ties to Houston. But he also has the ability to stop the run, which has been a weakness for this team over the last several years.

Be sure to check out the video above as the guys discuss which options would improve the team and excite Texans fans the most.

The Houston Astros haven't counted on their catchers to deliver much offensive production in recent years, with defensive specialist Martin Maldonado being their primary catcher for the last few seasons. But top hitting prospect Yainer Diaz is making a case to get more playing time behind the plate and at first, based on his ability to swing the bat.

Until recently, he hasn't been able to get any meaningful playing time. Even David Hensley, who was optioned to Sugar Land a few weeks ago, has more plate appearances than Diaz this season.

So how does manager Dusty Baker find more opportunities for Diaz? Should he use him more often as a DH, along with getting time at first base and catcher?

And what does that mean for Jose Abreu, Martin Maldonado, and to a lesser extent, former first round pick and Sugar Land Space Cowboy catcher, Korey Lee?

Plus, considering how good the Astros outfielders have been this year, does the team need to grab another bat before the trade deadline?

Don't miss the video above as we break it all down!
