Roster Moves - 4/17

OKC
LF Collin Delome was released (I wouldn't be surprised if Jake Goebbert gets sent up to OKC from CC)

LAN
OF Dan Adamson was released

There may be other moves, but MiLB has been slow to post transactions the last couple of days.

And Then There Were None

Officially no longer a Houston astro...looking forward to opening a new chapter in my baseball career..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And with this news, the chapter is officially closed on the disaster that was the Astros 2007 draft class.  Collin was the last man standing.  The Astros did not get one single player out of that draft to make it to the major leagues.  It is sad but somehow fitting that this chapter had to close so the next chapters can be written.
