    Anyway, that was Springer's 29th home run of the year, which gives him sole possession of the Minor League lead.

    Is Correa a lock for Lancaster next season? No chance of Corpus?

    Also, any chance of a promotion for him to Lancaster before this season ends?

    Springer, Santana & Singleton with bombs!

    No surprise from Springer but good to see Santana adjusting to AA & hopefully a start for Singleton

    Delino DeShields hit a 3-run homer (3) for Lancaster to tie the game at 7 in the 7th in Rancho.

    I have a feeling the Astros are going to call up Springer this coming weekend which sucks because I'll be out of town. I'll be so upset if I can't go to his first game as an Astro.

    Well, the Astros will be on the road all this week, and then the Red Sox will be coming to town next Monday.

    i got nothing against him . I just think its sad that a 22 year old player gains over 50lbs after he gets suspended, shows some poor work ethic especially at such a young age. I wish the best for him and will obviously root for him. Anyone disagreeing with what im saying is just a homer

    Singleton is a gifted hitter and may very well prove to be an all star caliber first baseman. However there are serious red flags. The guy tests positive AGAIN and as a result faces a lengthy suspension. He releases a statement about how he let down his family and the Astros and wants to make amends. How does he make amends? By doing absolutely nothing to stay in shape, gaing an alarming amount of weight and being ill prepared.

    The guy is supposed to be a professional but clearly lacks the maturity, work ethic and heart you want from a player. Perhaps he will grow up, or is so talented it doesn't matter.. but I am not counting on it. It also helps ex
