Astros-Minors

They just finished Top 3 prospects infield.
Young bucks looking good at every spot. They hit on some recent deep draft picks.
2025 should have system rank up big.

Not much for MLB ready guys except pitching.
Kess is still 'Stros # 3 SS prospect.
A few moments but upside seems limited.


Links to rest of infield in here.

Lots here.

In Fayetteville opening day victory the team had an interesting lineup……

With the exception of one player the starting lineup were between the ages of 18-20 years old.

Right direction and a change in philosophy.

Luis Baez ( RF) is my next Yainer Diaz pick.

I think he’s special.

Only turned 20 in January and is starting

at Asheville ( A+).

I mentioned in another post that Dana Brown is being more aggressive with his placements.

I’m not going to give a full scouting report right now….

……But we hear all the time about how our farm system sucks etc……our farm system does not have a ton of depth right now….the other thing missing are the “Bonus Babies”….

But we have some serious international talent that’s is starting to mature….it’s mostly arms but there are gonna be some names the next couple of years that you’ve never hear of.

If the Astros don’t want to pay Tucker then Baez could be the replacement and a possible ROY in a couple of years.

I hope I haven’t just ruined this kids future :relieved:

Kenny Gomez CF at Fayetteville batting leadoff doing Kenny Gomez things……at 18 years old.

I don’t know if you guys have gathered that I’m pretty obsessive about baseball( :joy:)on all levels….high school, college, minors( all levels) and of course MLB.

Anyway, the last couple of Astros drafts have been really suspect( thats another conversation) except for a handful of guys….

You have heard/read that I have mentioned I believe some of the college arms would work out.
One of the guys, perhaps THE GUY I am highest on is Jake Bloss.

I’ll let y’all look up the numbers and such but IMO he may wind up being better than Hunter and Spencer.

Got promoted to AA last week and made his second start for Corpus tonight….12 IP only 4 hits and 0 runs.

For a guy just drafted last year he is progressing quickly and successfully.

His last AB tonight was one of the least competitive plate appearances I’ve seen in a while. Terrible.

I thought I saw that the elusive F Whitley pitched for Sugar Land last week, too.

He’s had one good outing and one not so good( last night).
