    Gurriel is currently 0-2; he's struck out and grounded out so far.

    In before "bust" comments

    In yesterday's DSL Astros Orange game, the pitcher who recorded the save was Willy Taveras.

    Gilberto Celestino is moving up to the GCL.

    Here are his numbers with the DSL Orange team:

    @PaulBravermanChange in tonight's @FresnoGrizzlies starting lineup: RHP Jordan Jankowski will make 2nd start of season out of pen, not Joe Musgrove.

    Just trade the entire freaking farm for actual major league quality players. So sick of these bums coming up without the ability to even get a single knock.

    Hector Perez @ Beloit: 5.2 IP, 3 H, ER, 3 BB, 7 K

    Myles Straw just keeps hitting. He went 4-5 today and is now slashing .360/.425/.458. He might have an unbelievably high BABIP, but he might be one of those guys who can maintain a relatively high number in that department.

    Jon Kemmer is back to mashing baseballs again after a lackluster first half of the season.

    Yordan Alvarez probably slots in to the back end of the Astros Top 30, big money signee with high upside. Chavez is a lotto, but so was Martes.

    Trent Thornton with another good start for Corpus. He is gonna soar up our prospect rankings.

    Reed has 3 hits tonight. He needs to be back up here.

    Do AAA stats even matter? Hasn't seemed like it :rolleyes:

    I think if Bregman could get hot they'd call up Reed, can't have two prospects with zero MLB success in the lineup. Not that Tucker or White or offering anything
