Another <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>.<a href="https://twitter.com/conradgregor55">@conradgregor55</a> just came to the plate in 8th a double shy of cycle. He homered instead.

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.
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.
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.
At the expense of our prospects, who curessssss........! Lancaster has ruined Mark Appel. Appel ruined himself enough though.
