    Maybe the trade deadline will show how much they'll value Whitley.

    Why mention White in a minor league thread? Read your original post with an unprejudiced eye, and consider the fact that others cannot read your mind, and have no idea about how anal you are concerning thread boundaries.

    I have no idea why you're flying off the rail here.

    Bryan Abreu allowed two hits and struck out seven over four scoreless innings of relief tonight for Corpus Christi.

    I mentioned that Kyle Tucker was playing 1B in a minor league game, in a minor league thread.

    The mention of White was obviously because he could be impacted by such a move, although I didn't necessarily see it coming that he would be DFA'd at this point to add a pitcher.

    I doubt that there's anyone who believes that Bryan Abreu or J.B. Bukauskas is auditioning for a rotation spot in Houston this year.

    Ivey could have been if he hadn't missed a month.

    Who homered last night

    Josh Rojas (19, 2-run)
    Jack Mayfield (15, solo)
    Osvaldo Duarte (11, solo)
    Colton Shaver (13, solo)
    Corey Julks (3, solo); Julks finished 4-5 in Fayetteville's 6-4 loss to Lynchburg last night.

    Rojas might actually be good.

    Agreed, the post was not for just this year, but next year as well (which is even more of a question mark), which will influence how desperate we are this off season.

    Man, the magnitude of Whitley's struggles are alarming.

    His stuff is beyond question, but at a certain point you start to fear Rick Ankiel syndrome.

    Whitley is killing any value he has. Astros just gotta stuck with him and hope he can turn it around

    Alfredi Jimenez made his season debut in the GCL. He had a nice season last year between the GCL and DSL as an 18 year old, so it's good to see he's pitching again.

    Alex Palmer struck out 6 of the 10 batters he faced. Gives him 10Ks and no walks in the first 7 innings of his pro career. He should probably go to the NYPL soon.

    Whitley is single handedly destroying the Astros 2019 Championship hopes.

    Spurs fan pitching for Astros always had a larger risk than most understood

    We aren't even close to that point. He's 21 years old.

    Kyle Tucker just hit a 3-run homer.

    Distance of 421 ft. with a 106 mph exit velocity, according to the New Orleans Triple-A team's broadcaster.

    Korey Lee went 3-4 with an RBI triple and a two-run single tonight for Tri-City.

    Valente Bellozo allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out three over three scoreless to get the win.

    Brandon Bielak had a no-hitter going through six innings but lost it to start the 7th.

    Bielak has now had three dynamite starts in his last five. He is really starting to emerge yet again as a potential rotation piece in the future.
