Four Astros Prospects You Need to Know After The Trade Deadline
2 comments
Quick questions before I dive in: How many of the guys mentioned slept in a train car last night? And which of those dudes will be the next ROY?
I kid, I kid. But the fretting over the farm system is gone way overboard. The farm has been ranked at the bottom for YEARS and every year we still get a Chas McCormick or a Jeremy Pena, a Yanier Diaz, or a JP France. Astros excel in development. I wouldn’t worry about it.
Arrighetti really just strengthens the starting pitching already at the MLB/AAA levels. We have 9 guys with 10+ MLB starts and 2 guys in the minors that have made spot starts. All are under control for 2 more seasons (assuming JV’s option is conveyed).
If we have a need somewhere, this would be where we deal from in the future.
