There were definitely more than just that. Several made the show with other teams. 2012: Rio Ruiz (O's), Brett Philips 2013: Jason Martin...
Been very confused with Whitaker's development. Sounds like he's got tools, but he's running ridiculous K rates in the low minors. It's gotta be...
In general, the Astros were much more successful with college draftees than HS draftees over the last decade. The majority of those drafts being...
Absolutely fantastic season.
Fangraphs: José Abreu’s Texas-Sized Power Outage
No doubt adding ticks to the FB is part of the plan. They'd love to follow the Hunter Brown roadmap: take a mid-majors guy with upside, get him...
Predraft scouting report: Link What pitch mix the Astros are focusing on: Link A lot to work on, but sounds like the makings of a solid...
Some google'ing shows a smattering of random awards, but I can't find anything scouting report wise. He was the Royals July POTM for the Complex...
"super" in the sense that they're in superhero properties: Ezra Miller - the current DCU Flash. Just a crap ton of weird legal problems and...

Whitley had a turd showing tonight: 4.2IP, 4H, 5 R/ER's, 3 BB, 2 HR, 6K.
This is overblown. By team WAR, the Astros have the 7th ranked offense and 10th ranked pitching staff. There's a fair amount of data to suggest...
Lol, slow down. Whitley is the one guy you should not put the cart before the horse. Just a reminder for everyone, his innings over the last four...
Julks is def the rookie/junior to follow in the early going. Love the contact but yes he absolutely needs to get some BB's. His bat will...
I've lived in texas the majority of my life. Never once heard of 4/21 being celebrated as the date of Texas Independence. March 2, 1836 is the day...
