2B/SS Tyler Greene (29)
One of our newest Astros, Greene was a first round draft pick by the Cardinals in 2005 and came to Houston on August 9th in a trade with St. Louis for a PTBNL or cash. In 77 games for St. Louis in 2012, Greene hit .218/.272/.358. In six games with Houston, he is hitting .350/.350/.600.
LHP Christopher Lee (20)
Drafted by Houston in the fourth round in 2011 and originally from Tampa, Florida, Lee was assigned from Greeneville to the GCL recently. He hasn't pitched in three weeks which leads me to believe there may be an injury involved. In five appearances (three starts) for Greeneville, Lee was 1-2 with a 11.42 ERA and a 2.538 WHIP.
OF Emilio King (23)
King was signed by the Astros as an NDFA out of the Dominican Republic prior to the 2006 season. King has struggled somewhat this season and has been unable to recreate his solid 2011 Lexington season when he hit .293/.332/.439. He is now with the Tri-City club and appears to be heating up. In his last 10 games, he is hitting .314/.314/.714. For the season, he is hitting .190/.246/.322.
