That is great, he was not listed as the starter on the fall league schedule page. Glad he got the innings in and real glad he kicked some bootie. |

Now let's all hope he doesn't do something dumb between now and Spring Training...... |

Now let's all hope he doesn't do something dumb between now and Spring Training...... Looks like the kid was on a mission to redeem himself in the AFL. I’m betting he has matured a lot due to his suspension and the struggles he endured with the injuries that followed. I look for him to have a good ST with the Astros and then start the season at AAA. If he stays healthy, I will be surprised if he isn’t with the Astros by August. |

Barring some crazy trades it seems to me that a strategy of giving several young starters experience for kind of a tandem system for 2 of the 5 starter positions. We seem to want to trade for a front line kind of guy but I doubt that we really will be willing to pay the price in terms of prospects.

I am reasonably sure we will see Whitley after the super 2 period passes and I think his innings will be limited before that time as he will be restricted to 100-110 innings next year if we have any sense at all.

Smart move putting him on the 40 man roster. A rebuilding team could easily hide him all year in the bullpen and then develope him more the next year and steal a gem.

This from the What the Heck Bobby website:
“Players who are no longer a part of the Houston Astros organization.
RELEASED
12-20: RHP Yoanys Quiala (Corpus)
12-20: OF Carlos Diaz (GCL)
11-15: RHP Brock Dykxhoorn (Corpus/Fresno)
11-2: RHP Wender Oberto (DSL)
11-2: RHP Jose Antonio Hernandez (DSL)
Dykxhoorn was released so he could sign with the SK Wyverns of the Korea Baseball Organization. Diaz and Quiala found themselves on the restricted list due to drug suspensions to end the 2018 season.
TRADED
1-6: IF J.D. Davis (Houston, 40-man) and IF Cody Bohanek (Buies Creek) traded to Mets for OF Ross Adolph, 2B Luis Santana, and C Scott Manea
11-17: RHP Trent Thornton (Fresno) traded to Blue Jays for IF Aledmys Díaz
SIGNED WITH OTHER TEAMS
12-11: RHP Matt Ramsey (MiLB FA; Fresno) signed with the Angels
12-11: C Chris Herrmann signed with the Athletics (non-tendered 11-29)
11-16: 3B Randy César (MiLB FA; Corpus) signed with the Twins
11-15: RHP Brock Dykxhoorn (Fresno/Corpus) released; contract purchased by the SK Wyverns of the Korea Baseball Organization
SELECTED IN RULE 5 DRAFT
RHP Riley Ferrell - selected by Marlins in major league phase
OF Drew Ferguson - selected by Giants in major league phase
RHP Ryan Thompson - selected by Rays in minor league phase”

I read over at the crawfish boxes that Whitley, Tucker, Alvarez, James, and Martin all got into the top 100. I think that Whitley was 5, Tucker 14, Alvarez 34, James 77, and Martin 78. Not sure of the accuracy of the actual numbers but that is close. |

How did the Brewers pass him up anyway. Hell you would have to draft him just for the name. |

Not sure how he fell to us but damn I am glad. I think you will see him start to switch to playing first base this year at least part time. It would not surprise me if he finishes the season during well in AA and with the Astros in 2020 by the break. His hit and power tools are really the only ones to get excited about so a platoon of Beer and White either dhing or playing first makes a lot of sense down the road. |
