Dean Deetz had a solid AA debut: 6 IP, 6 H, 9 K He hasn't had the helium of Rogelio Armenteros or Trent Thornton but has had a pretty solid year in his own right.
Yeremi Ceballos is a 17-year-old lefty in the DSL. Naturally, being in the DSL means that he's a world away from Houston, and the numbers mean very little, but nevertheless, he's had a pretty nice start to his career. Maybe a kid to keep way in the back of your mind. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.sports-reference.com/wg.fcgi?css=1&site=br&url=%2Fregister%2Fplayer.cgi%3Fid%3Dceball000yer&div=div_standard_pitching"></script>
JD Davis looks to be a really streaky hitter, but when he's hot, he's hot. I expect him to be packaged in a deal for an arm this offseason.
Him and Fisher are too streaky. The only top prospect right now I'm actually excited about is Kyle Tucker. Kyle Tucker may be the only prospect I wouldn't trade unless a Sale or Archer type of Ace, came the Astros way.
He's going to be another Luhnow find. There were already prospect guys talking about him as a potential riser when the Feldman trade was made.

Fisher finished 3-4 with a double and a stolen base last night... with 20 homers and 25 stolen bases between Fresno and Corpus, he has 20 homers and 20 steals in his first two full seasons.

You'd enjoy his delivery. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xmfis4qthao" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Some VERY talented players heading to Arizon. I think Martes/Paulino are being showcased as trade bait (and to make up lost innings). Stubbs may be included to see if he might be ready for the majors next season. Dorris, Laureano, Tanielu, and Martin are more typical AFL prospects as guys they want to get a better look at against some higher competition.
