Happy Birthday - 6/14
RHP R.J. Alaniz (22)
Alaniz orginally signed with the Astros as a non-drafted free agent out of McAllen, Texas in 2009, and is currently in his fourth season with the organization. In 15 games (10 starts) at Corpus Christi thus far this season, he is 2-6 with a 6.22 ERA and a 1.727 WHIP.
RHP Alan Abreu (23)
I knew virtually nothing about Abreu other than he was playing college baseball in Florida as an outfielder when he was signed by the Astros in September 2011 as a NDFA to pitch. I found this terrific article explaining how it all came about. If this works out, it will be an amazing story. In his first season with the 2012 GCL Astros, he was 1-2 with a 2.70 ERA and a 1.600 WHIP in 14 appearances out of the bullpen.
C Brian Pena (19)
A non-drafted free agent from the Dominican Republic, Pena is in his second season with the DSL Astros. After hitting .183/.294/.197 in 28 games in 2012, he is hitting .375/.444/.375 thus far in 4 games in 2013.
