God told us not to be envious, but I don't think he ever considered a World Series champagne shower. How can you not be jealous of that.

Happy Birthday - 10/17
Happy Birthday to ~
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.
Former Astros with birthdays today ~
C Chris Tremie (44)
Originally drafted by the White Sox in the 39th round in 1992, Tremie signed as a free agent with the Astros in 2000 and toiled for four seasons in the Astros minor league system before getting into one game in September 2004. A late inning defensive replacement, he didn't get an at-bat with the Astros. In 2013, Tremie managed the Columbus Clippers, a Cleveland affiliate, in the International League.
IF Edwin Maysonet (32)
Drafted by Houston in the 9th round in 2003, Maysonet played in a total of 46 games for the Astros in 2008 and 2009, hitting .276/.317/.342. He played in the Cubs minor league system in 2013.

Roster Moves
The Astros traded relief pitcher Wilton Lopez and a PTBNL* for two right-handers from the Rockies last night, Alex White and Alex Gillingham. White has been added to the 40-man roster while Lopez was removed from it, leaving the 40-man at 37 with three openings.
Alex White was drafted by Cleveland out of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the first round (15th overall) in 2009 and was traded to Colorado in July 2011 as a part of the Ubaldo Jimenez deal. In 2012, he appeared in 23 games (20 starts) for the Rockies, compiling a 2-9 record with a 5.51 ERA and a 1.684 WHIP. In 44 starts over three seasons in the minors, White was 15-15 with a 2.65 ERA and a 1.118 WHIP. He just turned 24 in August.
The 23-year old Alex Gillingham was drafted by the Rockies in the 11th round in 2011 out of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. In 19 starts for the LoA Asheville Tourists in 2012, Gillingham was 6-8 with a 3.66 ERA and a 1.220 WHIP. According to MiLB.com, his ground out to air out ratio was 3.29 which would automatically make him one of the most prolific groundball pitchers in the Astros minor league system.
*According to Baseball-Reference, the trade was actually for Lopez plus a player to be named later or cash.
I have updated my ongoing Off-Season Transaction List to account for these moves. Jeff Luhnow has hinted at another move coming soon. Bud Norris is the name most frequently rumored to be at the center of talks.
