Wish we could have gotten more for Fowler.

Oh well he was gone after this season no matter what anyway. I guess it's an ok deal.

You got plenty for Fowler. Valbuena is a very good contributor and Dan Straily has shown some good potential. Your rotation is very thin, so you get a 26 year old starting pitcher with some talent to give your club innings. He'll most likely start right out the gate for the Astros.

Astros greatly needed starting pitching depth and Luis Valbuena probably wins the starting 3rd baseman job out of Spring. Not sure how much more the Astros could have gotten. Maybe a contending team would have paid more for Fowler at the trade deadline, but then the Astros are gambling that Fowler remains healthy until then.
