RHP Alex Gillingham (24)
Originally drafted by the Rockies in the 11th round in 2011 out of Loyola Marymount University, Gillingham came into the Astros system in a December 2012 trade with the Rockies for Wilton Lopez. Gillingham only pitched eight innings in April with forgettable results before going on the DL. He spent the last few months of the season on Team Rehab at Kissimmee.
Lancaster Pitching Coach Don Alexander (55)
Alexander is one of the longest tenured coaches in the Astros system and has had the unenviable task for four of the last five seasons of mentoring young pitchers in one of the most hitter-friendly minor league ballparks in the country.
