Spring Training Update

I'll be offering up an abbreviated post on what turned out to be an abbreviated game as monsoon season came to Florida early this year. Minor-leaguer David Martinez had a solid start in his outing against the Marlins, allowing one run on eight hits and no walks over four innings. With the wind blowing out at about 35 mph on Sunday, the Astros couldn't have picked a better man than Martinez who survived last season intact after pitching at Lancaster, where gusty winds are the norm. Jose Veras allowed two hits and no runs in his one inning of work in the rain-shortened game.

As far as the offense goes, the Astros collected three more hits than they did on Saturday despite the game being called with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. And they were not cheap hits. Fernando Martinez had an RBI double; Ronny Cedeno tripled; and Brett Wallace hit a two-run shot into the atmosphere, seeding the clouds and causing the heavens to open (not really, but it was a no-doubter, wind or not). Rick Ankiel was 2-for-2 with a walk and Jose Altuve walked twice and stole a base.

It was also announced on Saturday that J.D. Martinez was being optioned to AAA and Jason Jaramillo was being sent to minor league camp as well, leaving 34 in major league camp. Brian McTaggart also reported that Tyler Greene is not making the team and the Astros will try to deal him.
