    Really surprised Gregor hasn't gotten more buzz yet from some of the national outlets like BP and BA. It's about that time. He now has 200 PAs at A+ under his belt, and he's an offensive force.

    The Lancaster Effect. Hitters aint that good. Pitchers aint that bad.

    Gregor's a pretty good hitter to begin with. His power might be an illusion, but then again, maybe this stint in Lancaster can get him to unlock it a little more.

    What I wonder about Lancaster, is how guys like Gregor go from very few HRs to hitting them out like crazy, while a guy like Ruiz is on a similar pace to do what he did last year.

    Difference between line drive and fly ball hitters?

    The Stros need to use Lancaster like you would a random girl after a breakup . A solid rebound for the hitters that are struggling.

    Pitching wise. Keep your good ones out of there.

    All hitting and no pitching make Lancaster a dull team.

    Honestly we just need to get out of the affiliate as soon as the contract expires. I hate it.

    At the expense of our prospects, who curessssss........!

    Lancaster has ruined Mark Appel.

    Appel ruined himself enough though.

    I would LOVE to see Felix start next year in Corpus. Let him skip Lancaster please.
