Astros Minor League Roster Moves/Transactions

A few Astros minor league moves from the last couple of days ~

OKLAHOMA CITY
7/4 - LHP Brett Oberholtzer optioned from Houston to Oklahoma City

Also, no details were released by the front office (that I saw), but RHP Andrew Robinson was traded to the Braves. It appears that the trade was for a PTBNL or cash considerations, but again I've not seen any confirmation of that.

I'm going to miss all the friends I made with the @astros but I'm excited for the opportunity with my hometown team!! @Braves

I would like to go on record as saying that I think the Astros may end up regretting this trade. I have followed Robinson closely since I first saw him in action in Lancaster in 2012. His mid-90's fastball and plus curveball made hitters look downright silly at times. He has started out slowly the last couple of seasons, but had a very strong start to the 2014 season. I think he could have helped out the Houston bullpen sooner rather than later, but alas, the decision is not up to me. I am, however, very happy for Andrew that he will be getting an opportunity to play for his hometown team. I will be rooting for him every step of the way.
