Astros Minor League Rosters Taking Shape

Since official Astros minor league rosters haven't come out yet, I can only go by what's been reported by Houston Chronicle writers and what I see in the player's twitter feeds and the like. None of these have been officially reported and are subject to change. With that said, here is where I think these players are going. When full rosters are available, I will post them.

OKLAHOMA CITY
IF Japhet Amador
RHP Jake Buchanan
RHP Bobby Doran
RHP Mike Foltynewicz
RHP Collin McHugh
C Carlos Perez
IF Jon Singleton
OF George Springer
C Max Stassi
OF Austin Wates
RHP Josh Zeid
(Most of this roster we can assume we know. It is almost certain that David Martinez, Darin Downs, Jason Stoffel, Chia-Jen Lo, Jose Cisnero, Paul Clemens, Rudy Owens, Gregorio Petit and Adron Chambers will be on the team. I am also assuming that Andy Simunic and Austin Wates (have gotten conflicting reports on Wates but now I'm hearing that he will be in OKC) will return there and that Domingo Santana will be there as well. But the listed players are the only ones I have seen or heard confirmed by reliable sources.)

CORPUS CHRISTI
(According to Greg Rajan of the Corpus Christi Caller Times, this is the preliminary roster, but will have to be cut to 25 players so look for some additional movement, but this will be close to the opening day roster.)
OF Andrew Aplin
RHP Travis Ballew
LHP Colton Cain
C M.P. Cokinos (actually 1B/DH last year)
LHP Luis Cruz
RHP Jorge de Leon
OF Delino DeShields
3B Matt Duffy
OF Chris Epps
IF Nolan Fontana
C Rene Garcia
LHP T.J. Geith
OF Leo Heras
C Tyler Heineman
RHP Matt Heidenreich
2B Kike Hernandez
RHP Jordan Jankowski
IF Jio Mier
RHP Andrew Robinson
RHP Brady Rodgers
LHP David Rollins
IF Joe Sclafani
RHP Ross Seaton
LHP Tommy Shirley
LHP Alex Sogard
OF Preston Tucker
RHP Aaron West

  1. Thanks Jayne. We won't hold you to any changes. I'm surprised to see Rene Garcia coming back to CC about going to OKC last year. Looks like another great year for Hooks fans!

    1. It's a matter of depth with Stassi and Perez just a little bit ahead of him in the pecking order.

  2. I'm not surprised to see Garcia back with the Hooks. Given the success Stassi had last year, Garcia was the person I choose to be on our squad. Carlos Perez went up in May 2013 when Stassi joined the Hooks. Just wondering where Erik Castro will be. Singleton and Amador are at OKC.

    1. I'm assuming Tucker will be back at CC to start. I think he'll get promoted to OKC when Springer goes to Houston. Thurman will either be at QC or Lancaster, but I haven't heard anything yet. We should know about Tucker tonight since the Hooks are having a meet and greet.
