2018 Astros Minor League Thread

He graduated last year, so wasn't eligible for the list.

 

Don't care about lists. He's still a prospect.

 

I agree with you, anyone that isn't contributing at the big league level should be included on "lists". Fisher and Martes both should be considered.

Fisher has been a big disappointment, especially when you consider his eye popping natural skills. I just don't know that he makes good enough contact or has any approach at the plate.

Martes has awesome talent, and a real feel for pitching......... unfortunately he completely refuses to make the mechanical changes that the Astros have asked him to make, and he seems disinterested unless it is a high leverage situation.

Speaking of which.... can you imagine Martes and Giles picking each other's brains? I bet that is torture to listen to.

Damn it, I clicked that.

 

Quite surprised that Cionel is that low.

 

Being bold, but I'm actually higher on Cionel Perez than on Forrest Whitley.

 

You can have Perez and Reed.

I'll roll with Whitley and Alvarez.

 

They needed Fisher to be the LFer this year until Tucker was ready, He was not, oh well.

 

lol he was in the sense that he was a warm body that delayed Tucker's service time while not preventing the team from leading the division early on.

was he in anyway a net positive though? heck no.

 

Uh...no...ok.

You can lol all you want.

 

Anyone know who’s starting for the hooks tonight? Going the game in San Antonio.

 

There is a word for that, but it isn’t bold

 

Brett Adcock

 

Thanks, was obviously hoping Whitley but Adcock is cool too.

 

Fisher filled a hole for Astros better than Neil Walker filled a hole for the Yankees ($4 million) and Nunez ($6 million) for the Red Sox. If he's the worst disappointment this season, might as well start complaining about the 2018 Word Series Champion Ring Giveaways.

 

You may get Hector Perez for the 2nd half of the game too, as he started the game that Adcock finished last time. Whitley's injury is a bummer, but corpus starts enough interesting arms that just about any night you should see someone fun.
