LHP Edgar Ferreira (19)
A non-drafted free agent out of the Dominican Republic, Ferreira has played two seasons in the DSL. Ferreira had good numbers in 2010 (2.70 ERA over 10 appearances), but was unable to duplicate them in 2011 (11.57 over 10 appearances). However, I wouldn't read too much into that high ERA as this lefty faced right-handed hitters almost exclusively in the 2011 season.
OF Teoscar Hernandez (19)
2011 was Hernandez' first season in the Astros organization and he didn't waste any time in getting my attention. Over 226 AB's in the DSL, he hit .274/.360/.487/.847 with 13 doubles, 7 doubles and 7 home runs. He is originally from the Dominican Republic.
