STARTING PITCHERS:
7-1 with 1 save in 13 games (9 starts) for the AA Corpus Christi Hooks
1.23 ERA and 0.955 WHIP in 66 IP (16 BB:55 SO)
Devenski had one rough outing last week and literally doubled his total of earned runs for the season from four to eight before bouncing back with a more Devenski-like outing this week. He has been lights out all season, but apparently he will need to obtain compromising pictures of Jeff Luhnow with a goat in order to receive a promotion. That he has been passed over time and again is, to me, inexplicable.

3-5 in 12 games (8 starts) for the Advanced A Lancaster JetHawks
6.55 ERA and 1.545 WHIP in 44 IP (14 BB:35 SO)
Grills is still struggling at The Hangar, Lancaster's home ballpark, where he has a 9.55 ERA and a 1.985 WHIP as compared to a 3.63 ERA and a 1.119 WHIP on the road. He is currently on the DL.

3.14 ERA and 1.291 WHIP in 57.1 IP (19 BB:33 SO)
Radziewski has been struggling somewhat with a tough June and will be looking to turn things around as he comes back from the All-Star break.

2-3 in 13 games (9 starts) for the Advanced A Lancaster JetHawks
5.40 ERA and 1.463 WHIP in 53.1 IP (30 BB:61 SO)
Scribner is another pitcher who hopes to benefit from the All-Star break as he puts a couple of rough June outings in the rearview mirror.

4.01 ERA and 1.782 WHIP in 33.2 IP (20 BB:37 SO)
Jankowski appears to have finally gotten his walks under control (3 in 9 appearances in June vs. 11 in 10 appearances in May), but hasn't quite put all of the pieces together in his time at AAA yet.
2-1 in 11 appearances for the AA Corpus Christi Hooks and 11 appearances for the AAA Fresno Grizzlies (promoted 5/23)
2.67 ERA and 1.154 WHIP in 30.1 IP (7 BB:27 SO)

2.15 ERA and 0.784 WHIP in 29.1 IP (6 BB:20 SO)
Perez has been Mr. Consistent out of the bullpen since his promotion to Corpus Christi last season. He has carried last year's success forward quite nicely.

3-1 in 11 games (7 starts) for the AAA Fresno Grizzlies
3.07 ERA and 1.049 WHIP in 41 IP (11 BB:37 SO)
I originally listed Shirley as a reliever on this roster because he has been used as both a starter and a reliever; however, his last three appearances were in a starting capacity. Unfortunately, those three outings were followed by a stint on the DL. He has not pitched since May 29th.

Let's just say that Minnis didn't have a very good month of June so far and leave it at that.
RHP Daniel Minor - Released
0-1 in 7 appearances for the AA Corpus Christi Hooks

RHP Daniel Minor - Released
0-1 in 7 appearances for the AA Corpus Christi Hooks
3.48 ERA and 1.355 WHIP in 10.1 IP (7 BB:8 SO)
Minor was the victim of the depth of the Astros minor league system. There simply weren't enough innings to go around (particularly when the starting rotation was performing well), and Minor found himself to be the odd man out. He has since joined the Independent League Laredo Lemurs in the American Association.
CATCHERS:
Tyler Heineman S/R
.306/.350/.374 in 22 games for the AA Corpus Christi Hooks and 16 games for the AAA Fresno Grizzlies (promoted 5/22)
10-2B; 13 RBI; 1 SB; 9 BB; 7 SO
44% Caught Stealing (10 SB; 8 CS)

.346/.430/.434 in 13 games for the Low A Quad Cities River Bandits and 24 games for the Advanced A Lancaster JetHawks (promoted on 5/7)
4-2B; 1-3B; 2 HR; 22 RBI; 3 SB; 1CS; 19 BB; 27 SO
60% Caught Stealing (10 SB; 15 CS)
Gonzalez is definitely among the top 5 best players in the system that nobody's heard of. Start paying attention to him!

.330/.387/.560 in 56 games for the Low A Quad Cities River Bandits
18-2B; 1-3B; 10 HR; 44 RBI; 1 SB; 1 CS; 16 BB; 48 SO

.278/.331/.437 in 62 games for the AAA Fresno Grizzlies
13-2B; 1-3B; 8 HR; 53 RBI; 1 SB; 16 BB; 47 SO

1B/DH Chase McDonald R/R
.278/.347/.521 in 45 games for the Advanced A Lancaster JetHawks
14-2B; 9 HR; 27 RBI; 1 SB; 18 BB; 61 SO

.298/.346/.400 in 57 games for the Low A Quad Cities River Bandits
12-2B; 2-3B; 2 HR; 30 RBI; 2 CS; 17 BB; 36 SO

21-2B; 2-3B; 1 HR; 29 RBI; 4 SB; 4 CS; 30 BB; 45 SO
Hyde was also an All-Star, but his promotion to Lancaster kept him from participating in this week's Midwest League All-Star game.
2B/SS Kristian Trompiz R/R
.249/.276/.383 in 56 games for the Low A Quad Cities River Bandits
11-2B; 2-3B; 4 HR; 21 RBI; 1 SB; 1 CS; 7 BB; 45 SO
Trompiz is almost two and a half years younger than the average Midwest League position player and it has shown at times.
IF Joe Sclafani S/R
.254/.355/.299 in 38 games for the AAA Fresno Grizzlies and 3 games for the AA Corpus Christi Hooks (currently at Fresno)
2-2B; 2-3B; 10 RBI; 1 SB; 1 CS; 19 BB; 21 SO

Mitchell had a very forgettable month of May, but has been bouncing back in June. He has vastly improved his OBP from May (.293) to June (.423) by drastically cutting down on his strikeouts.

.316/.392/.535 in 45 games for the AA Corpus Christi Hooks
7-2B; 9 HR; 30 RBI; 2 SB; 1 CS; 16 BB; 46 SO
