    Is there any one of the later round picks that he is particularly excited about or has a feeling could be star potential.

    Were you the one that asked him that in his chat yesterday? He listed Ballew, West, and Gulbransen, IIRC.

    I asked him for the steal of the draft outside of Ruiz/McCullers/Correa, and he said Fontana.

    Serious question:

    Ask Luhnow why games like tonight (06/28) are not moved to the daytime. I assume the club has the authority to do that (at least on a limited basis). Why are they playing a 7:05 PM CDT game with a 1:20 PM game in Chicago tomorrow? Since it is summertime with a non-marquee team as the opponent, the attendance difference should be negligible. Since there is a roof, afternoon heat does not come into play.

    In regards to the Astros Class A - Advanced minor league affiliate:
    With the Player Development Contract (PDC) with Lancaster expiring after this season, will the Astros FO sign another 2 year extension there or will they look for a team in the Carolina League or Florida State League?

    Carolina League has one club with an expiring PDC:
    -Wilmington Blue Rocks - Kansas City (signed through 2012)

    Florida State League has 4 clubs with expiring PDC after the 2012 season:
    -Brevard County Manatees - Milwaukee (signed through 2012)
    -Charlotte Stone Crabs - Tampa Bay (signed through 2012)
    -Daytona Cubs - Chicago (NL) (signed through 2012)
    -Fort Myers Miracle - Minnesota (signed through 2012)

    Hell, besides Lancaster there are 6 other Cali League clubs with expiring PDC's. We could at least get out of the wind tunnel that is Lancaster.

    He apparently had his meet with Luhnow in late June, but has yet to address the questions that we asked him to ask.

    wow, you're an ungrateful troll

    yes I met with him in late June -- I'll type up the notes soon. I've been busy. Maybe I'll just PM them to folks like tellitlikeitis and xcrunner who actually contribute to this forum, and leave the UH trolls to wonder.

    Ungrateful? What do I have to be grateful for? You started a thread in which you asked us to pose questions for Luhnow. I asked a joking one (Rice) and a serious one (scheduling). You haven't been too busy to post your usual types of posts in the D&D or start and participate in a 'food sharing' thread or post 100+ times in July. I am just curious as to the answers to the reasonable questions that were posted here.
