2014 Astros Minor League Thread

Wander Franco going HAM in the Dominican league.

Slashing 417/687/833 with 11 walks and 0 strikeouts.

I know its early but wow.

 

That BB% makes Fontana look like an aggressive free swinger.

 

Hell it makes Joey Votto look like Rob Deer.

 

Wow lol I remember when the PTBN was announced and reading up on him how enthusiastic I was. Wasn't expecting anything at all really, was hoping for Biddle as a LOOOOONNNG shot. I was very happy with Santana.

 

Correa's spray chart is beautiful.

This is hilarious!

 

Janikowski had a nice QS tonight 7Ks in 7 1/3

 

I'm concerned that those maroon diamonds are all grouped out past the other symbols. As a way of diversifying his talents, I'd like to see more of those bunched up with the others. Get some of those in the infield for good measure.

 

Whatever happened to Reymin Guduan?

As a guy who was seen to be on the rise, I can't find him anywhere this year?

 

Phillies GM claims they aren't completely incompetent, just stupid:

He'll probably show up in Greeneville or Tri-City.

 

We need to make room for Foltynewicz in the rotation. He's ready.

 

Folty: 6.2IP 4H 2ER 3BB 8K. ERA down to 3.32
Smith: 5.2IP 5H (1HR) 2R (1ER) 2BB 4K. ERA down to 3.68 in AA

 

Kris Bryant hit his 20th HR tonight.. and he's batting .353

 

So?..

 

Stop! Astros messed up with taking Appel over him. Gotta stop rubbing it in.
