    He was suspended for a Minor violation of team rules but has since been placed on the DL; not sure if that was related to his rules violation or what.

    It's a little worrisome that it has been so tight lipped as to what is going on

    It's 2016, the twitterverse is alive and well

    And nothing on Paulino

    Huge opportunity for Stubbs. A big second half in AA will probably get him listed as one of the top 10 catching prospects in baseball heading into next season.

    Why?

    He was abysmal away from the Hangar, just like a ton of other players that came through there. He was OK last year, nothing special. He has shown that he can draw a walk against lower level competition, but he hasn't backed that up with a good BA or any pop whatsoever.

    Obviously putting up decent numbers in CC would be huge, but for right now all I see is another all glove no hit prospect, which we have quite a few of.

    Elieser Hernandez vs. Beloit: 8 IP, H, BB, 10 K

    He started the year in Lancaster, but got demolished there, so he went back to Quad Cities to right the ship.

    If Bregman keeps doing this how much longer till he gets the call? He may force their hand.

    I kinda viewed as a good piece on a good young team. Now I'm seeing Evan Longoria and a cornerstone to the team with Correra, Altuve, and Springer.

    I am starting to become extremely excited about the thought of Bregman, Teoscar, and Reed all being in the regular 9 next season.

    It's funny how when the Astros drafted him the so called experts said he had average power.

    It was true at the time. But he gained 20 lbs of muscle and changed his approach at the plate this year. The future of the astros is looking Up!

    So even though he's no longer with the Dbacks, how long till we start thanking Arizona for drafting Swanson? :grin:

    But seriously can Bregman translate this power into the Majors? Unreal start to the season so far

    Bregmans star power is shooting up to higher ability. Meanwhile Moran's star power is fluttering downwards towards fringe Amal ability.

    In Bregman and Correa the Astros are going to have the left side of the infield set for years and years to come.

    In Altuve 2nd base is set up until that 200 million contract talk comes up.

    Good times to be an Astros fan.
