OF Brandon Meredith (22)
Drafted out of San Diego State in the 6th round in 2011, Brandon spent his first professional season at Tri-City. Hampered somewhat by injuries, he only played in 35 games in which he put up a .244/.371/.395/.766 batting line. I look forward to seeing what he can do in a full (and hopefully healthy) season in 2012.
3B Kyle Redinger (20)
Kyle was drafted in the 11th round in 2010 out of high school in Pennsylvania. Playing for the GCL Astros in 2011, he hit .148/.239/.197/.436 in 41 games.
LHP Yeudy Perdomo (20)
Signed by the Astros as a non-drafted free agent in 2009, Perdomo has spent three seasons in the DSL now. In 2011, he had a 3.78 ERA and a 1.200 WHIP with 21 strikeouts over 16.2 innings pitched.
