CF T.J. Steele (25)
Drafted by Houston in the 4th round in 2008, this lefty from California has been unable to replicate his excellent 2009 season in Lancaster at the plate. Now in his second season at Corpus Christi, his .212 BA and .249 OBP were actually a regression from the prior year; however, his .354 SLG is an improvement over his 2010 .315 SLG.
