Former Astros Farmhands in Affiliated Ball

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.
