Minors going off tonight. Hooks hit 4 HR against the Dodgers AA affiliate so far. I am starting to get very excited about Tyler Whitaker.
Jason Schiavone (6 with Corpus, 23 season), Max Holy (4 with Corpus, 5 season), Will Bush (5), and Tyler Whitaker (3) have all gone deep so far for the Hooks as they're already up 9-0 in Tulsa in the 3rd inning. Holy's was inside the park.
Jagger Beck vs. Delmarva: 3 IP, H, 4 BB, 4 K Juan Fraide, after tagging in: 4 IP, H, unearned run, BB, 6 K
Words I never thought would read from @Snake Diggit . I for one am surprised that Whitaker even made it to AA.
These are the Astros future stars. Hopefully next year we will be reading a similar headline from AA.
At this point I feel pretty comfortable saying the Astros have a top 10 farm system below High A (so between A and the complexes). I would bet we can include High A in that statement after the draft.
Would be nice for one of those guys from " Punishment Draft times" to turn into a nice player. I always thought it would be Alex Santos. Doesn't look likely now.
I thought he was going to be released before the season started. Now he’s nearly 200 pa into a AA season at age 23 posting an elite walk rate, tolerable k rate, and showing some speed and power. I’m hoping they start to get him reps on the infield like they have in previous years. Hes a legit prospect. Hes got reverse splits so even though hes RH he kind of reminds me of Loperfido.
