Keeping track of former Astros farmhands has gotten much harder over the past couple of years, primarily because of all the trades that have transpired, but I always make an effort. After combing through the rosters of all 30 affiliates, here are at least some of the former Astros minor-leaguers still floating around affiliated ball. If you see any that I missed, leave a comment and I'll post an update. (Note: I didn't include any former Astros who didn't spend significant time in the farm system during their time with the team.)
There are still a few free agents out there; I will update this post if they find another home with one of the other MLB franchises. In addition, I will publish my annual independent league findings later this month.
The level shown below is the level at which the player is assigned going in to the 2019 season. I am also including some former farmhands from the last few years who I've found engaged in non-playing roles in affiliated ball.
