0	Eny Cabreja Card	Pitcher	'Cause they're all filed under "Wandy Rodriguez"
15	José Cabrera Cards	Relief Pitcher	Got the last three outs in the game in which JR Phillips homered four times. Perhaps more importantly, immortalized in the never-to-be-forgotten catchphrase, "Cabrera a Brave."

4	Ron Cacini Cards	Shortstop	or Calini?
2	Colton Cain Cards	Pitcher	Acquired with Robbie Grossman and Rudy Owens in exchange for Wandy Rodriguez on July 25, 2012. One among of the many beleaguered at Lancaster during the remainder of 2012, Cain began 2013 at Quad Cities, then earned a promotion back to Lancaster at the end of the year and made five quality starts, posting a very-nice-for-Clear-Channel 3.24 ERA, and winning Lancaster's Player of the Month award for August. Pitched in only 14 Games for Corpus in 2014, and made 3 rehab appearances at Gulf Coast, totalling a 5.28 ERA, then was released at the end fo Spring Training 2015

1	Mike Calise Card	Infield	'85 Cramer Tucson Toros # 63
1	Mike Callahan Card	Pitcher	'83 Daytona Astros

2	Ernie Camacho Cards	Pitcher	Camacho's Moment In The Sun

1	Scott Camp Card	Pitcher	Went 2 - 3 with a 3.97 for the '86 Asheville Tourists and 1 - 1 with a 4.39 for the same year's Osceola Astros
2	Dave Campbell Cards	Infield/Outfield	We traded Tommie Agee for this guy? 74 Topps # 556--mega famous if overrated on ESPN
3	JIM CAMPBELL Cards	Catcher	Opening Day in 63
1	Mark Campbell Card	Catcher	Best year was his last of four, when he hit .303 for the '82 Daytona Astros, and was thus one of four on that team to hit .300, with Glenn Davis, Eric Bullock, and Ty Gainey.
1	Chris Campos Card	Pitcher	NDFA threw 12-1/3 innings for the 2005 Greeneville Astros
3	Juan Campos Cards	Pitcher	NDFA began stateside at Auburn in 2000, and competed most recently at Salem in 2003salem.GIF

1	Ted Campusano Card	Pitcher	AKA Teofilio. 2 - 3 with a 4.62 for the '89 Auburn Astros, with a spot appearance that year (and no decision) for Osceola
1	Josh Canales Card	Infield	Carson, CA native signed as a free agent after his release by the Dodgers organization in March of 2003, and debuted in the Astros organization for Salem that year
61	Casey Candaele Cards	Infield/Outfield	the BEST
4	John Cangelosi Cards	Outfield	Cangelosi is the Astros' all-time leader (minmum 500 plate appearances) in a stat I made up called "special bases," which is:(Walks + Hit By Pitch + Stolen Bases) minus (2 x Caught Stealing) all divided by (Plate Appearances - Hits). I was trying to come up with a stat that would quantify a player's ability to get a base for you, regardless of his ability to hit. Only 4 players (again 500 PA minimum) have had a career special bases score over .200 with the Astros: Cangelosi at .255, Jeff Bagwell, Joe Morgan, and career walk-rate leader Joe Ferguson.
4	JJ Cannon Cards	Outfield	'74 TCMA Dubuque Packers # 15 & '78 TCMA Charleston Charlies Unnumbered. Off the Astromap in the trade to the Blue Jays that got the Astros Alan Ashby, but back on it with a vengeance when he managed the 2001 Legends to the best record in minor league baseball
14	José Cano Cards	Pitcher	Three years in the minors, including league MVP of the Florida State League in '87, then went 1 - 1 in 6 games in '89 for Houston with a 5.09 ERA; I guess he was released or traded out of spring training in '90. Most famously, the father of Robinson Cano
7	Mike Capel Cards	Relief Pitcher	1991 Houston bullpen hand went 13 - 1 with a 2.98 ERA for the 1983 NCAA champion Texas Longhorns; teammate Roger Clemens went 13 - 5 with a 3.04
1	José Capellan Card	Pitcher	Journeyman from Cotul, Dominican Republic was 2 - 10 with a 7.07 for the 2009 Round Rock Express
2	George Capuzello Cards	Pitcher	Nice couple of cards here
6	Francisco Caraballo Cards	Outfield	Led the 2003 Martinsville Astros in triples--and in strikeouts. Second behind Pence in homers for the 2005 Lexington Legends, and was named a South Atlantic League All-Star as a result. May have hit a ceiling at Salem in 2006, as he led the Avs in strikeouts while his slugging dropped 75 points, and his average dropped 40. Played at AA Corpus Christi in 2007
2	Brandon Caraway Cards	Outfielder	Led the 2002 Lexington Legends in hitting with a .304 average
2	Conrad Cardinal Cards	Pitcher	Made six appearances with a loss for the '63 Colts, but a card appearance by his lonesome eluded him until 2003's Jewish Major Leaguers set
2	Kevin Carkeek Cards	Catcher	Split the catching duties at Tri-City in 2007 and at Salem in 2008 before his release in November of '08
2	Jesse Carlson Cards	Pitcher	3 - 0 with a 1.56 in 63 innings in his Astro organizational debut with the 2003 Lexington Legends, including a 36-inning scoreless streak. Didn't lose in 2004--despite a high ERA--meaning that the man has not lost in the Astros organization
1	Jon Carnahan Card	Catcher	2012 NDFA played that year at Gulf Coast then got three at bats for the 2013 ValleyCats before being released
9	David Carpenter Cards	Pitcher	Acquired from the Cardinals on August 19, 2010 in exchange for Pedro Feliz. 1 - 1 with a 3.52 at Lancaster thereafter, and was the winning pitcher in the JetHawks' five-pitcher no-hitter of Lake Elsinore on August 25. Began 2011 at AA Corpus, but was promoted to AAA Oklahoma in May, where he didn''t give up a run in 19 games. Made his major league debut with Houston on June 30, and pitched in 34 games thereafter, posting a 1 - 3 record and a 2.93 ERA. Probably the centerpiece (for the Jays, anyway) in the ten-player deal that Luhnow engineered with Toronto on July 20, 2012
8	Glenn Carpenter Cards	1st Base	Up through the minors, by Glenn Carpenter
1	Frank Carpin Card	Pitcher	Rule V pickup from Pittsburgh spent most of 1966 wth AAA Oklahoma Ciity, but also got into ten games with Houston, compiling a 7.50 ERA but a 1 - 0 record
10	Chuck Carr Cards	Outfield/Coach	Chuckie's hacking in that situation
1	Cesar Carrasco Card	3rd Baseman	Received from the Diamondbacks in July 2014 for Alex Sogard and was assigned to G-ville thereafter, hitting .228 with a homer
1	Hector Carrasco Card	Pitcher	100 mph fastball guy later with Marlins and Reds major league clubs

1	Jesus Carrion Card	Catcher	Played 107 games at Gulf Coast Asheville and Osceola between 1983 and 1986
4	Charley Carter Cards	Infield	You can call him 1998 New York-Penn League Slugging, Doubles, and Extra Base Hits Leader--Just don't call him Sergeant
67	CHRIS CARTER Cards	1ST Base/DH	Righthander with little defensive utility but with the freest, easiest power swing you have ever seen was acquired from the Oakland A's on February 4, 2013 with Brad Peacock and Max Stass in exchange for Jed Lowrie and Fernando Martinez. Hit 29 Homers and walked 70 times to lead the team in 2013, while also posting a ridiculous 212 Strikeouts, which needless to say led the American League. "Only" struck out 182 times in 2014, while becoming the first Astros since Carlos Lee in 2007 to hit 30 Homers, and in fact finished second in the American League; however, Walks were down to 54
12	Albert Cartwright Cards	2nd Base	Second baseman from Nassau, The Bahamas played at Greeneville in 2007, then posted a team-best .410 OBP upon repeating there for 2008. OPSed .698 at Lexington in 2009 and was named the Legends' defensive Player of the Month for April. Hit .319 at Hiah A Lancaster in 2010, with a .381 OBP, but didn't do quite so well in Texas when given a promotion to Corpus
3	Earl Cash Cards	Pitcher	Here's an article I found on Cash written during his tenure with the '85 Osceola Astros
1	Jack Cassel Card	Pitcher	Brother of Patriot stringer Matt pitched at Round Rock and with Houston in 2008, going 9 - 5 with a 3.69 for the team at Dell Diamond, and 1 - 1 with a 5.64 for the one at Minute Maid Park
4	Vinny Castilla Cards	Third Base	Free agent that the Hun stumbled across in midseason was a key to the 2001 Central crown, and became known among those in the know as "The Mexican Mullet."

1	Braulio Castillo Card	Outfield	Journeyman spent a year in Tucson
3	Jeiler Castillo Cards	Pitcher	Venezuelan righthanded reliever spent two years at Greeneville and had a 5.00+ ERA in both of them. However: in 2008, his K/BB was 18:21 and in 2009 it was 34:14. Began 2010 at Tri-City, but was demoted quickly and spent the rest of the year at G-ville, where he fiunally got the ERA below 5.00
10	Erik Castro Cards	Infield	Tenth round pick in the June 2009 draft had played catcher at San Diego State University under Tony Gwynn, but played third base for the V-Cats during his debut season in the Astros chain. Missed all of 2010 with an injury, then OPSed .772 at Lancaster in 2011. Primary DH for the Cal League champion JetHawks in 2012, and led that team in RBIs, Total Bases, and Doubles, while co-leading in hits and finishing second in homers. Finished third to Domingo Santana and George Springer for the 2013 Corpus Christi Hooks in Homers, and led the team in Walks, too, while earning the Hooks' Player of the Month award in May and August. Began at OKC in 2014, but hit .175 and was released in June, to be picked up the Braves a month later
2	Guillermo Castro Cards	Pitcher	Summered in Daytona Beach '82 & '83; was 6 - 7 with a fine 2.49 in 1982.
89	JASON CASTRO Cards	Catcher	10th overall pick in the June 2008 draft hit .275 at Tri-City that summer, and was playing at AA Corpus Christi by June 2009. After JR Towles flunked out for the last time in April 2010, it was only a matter of time before Castro was prematurely recalled to back up Humberto Quintero, and it was . . . . premature, that is. Missed all of 2011 with a knee injury. Split time with Chris Snyder (mostly) and Carlos Corporan in 2012, and had a 92 OPS+ through the middle of August The primary starter in 2013, and propelled by an offensive attack that featured a bunch of doubles, found himself named as the Astros' only representative in that season's All-Star Game. Disappointing season in 2014, as he hit only .222, while being outplayed in most phases by his backup Corporan
22	Ramon Castro Cards	Catcher	First high schooler out of Puerto Rico to be a number one draft pick; Later dealt for Makarewicz and Jay Powell. Status as Marlins' catcher of the future up in the air with the August 2003 rape charges . . . .and settled after he bailed on them sometime during the 2004 season.

8	Frank Cacciatore Cards	Manager/Coach	Managed at three different levels '88-'92
1	Craig Cacek Card	Infield	Led the 1977 Charleston Charlies in hitting--and was called up before Terry Puhl because of it. charlies2.jpg
4	Ron Cacini Cards	Shortstop	or Calini?
2	Colton Cain Cards	Pitcher	Acquired with Robbie Grossman and Rudy Owens in exchange for Wandy Rodriguez on July 25, 2012. One among of the many beleaguered at Lancaster during the remainder of 2012, Cain began 2013 at Quad Cities, then earned a promotion back to Lancaster at the end of the year and made five quality starts, posting a very-nice-for-Clear-Channel 3.24 ERA, and winning Lancaster's Player of the Month award for August. Pitched in only 14 Games for Corpus in 2014, and made 3 rehab appearances at Gulf Coast, totalling a 5.28 ERA, then was released at the end fo Spring Training 2015
1	Brandon Caipen Card	3rd Base	Led the '06 Greeneville Astros with a .374 OBP, and most recently played with the 2007 Lexington Legends
1	Al Cajide Card	Pitcher	Went 4 - 10 with a 3.67 for the '78 Daytona Astros, then posted an 0 - 2 with a 6.95 for the '79 Columbus squad
15	Jeff Calhoun Cards	Relief Pitcher	Although he didn't take the loss, (that was Aurelio Lopez) , Calhoun gave up the final and ultimately fatal run in Game Six of the 1986 NLCS.
1	Mike Calise Card	Infield	'85 Cramer Tucson Toros # 63
1	Mike Callahan Card	Pitcher	'83 Daytona Astros
4	Brett Callan Cards	Catcher	Ninth round pick in the June 1993 OBPed .387 at Auburn that year, but was down to .309 at Osceola the following year
1	José Calvo Card	Pitcher	Native of Panama City, Panama got as high as Michigan in 2000, and pitched briefly at Pittsfield in 2001
2	Ernie Camacho Cards	Pitcher	Camacho's Moment In The Sun
304	KEN CAMINITI Cards	Third Base	Four career inside the park home runs, but died a crackhead His is the flagship card of the rare 1985 Osceola Astros set
1	Scott Camp Card	Pitcher	Went 2 - 3 with a 3.97 for the '86 Asheville Tourists and 1 - 1 with a 4.39 for the same year's Osceola Astros
2	Dave Campbell Cards	Infield/Outfield	We traded Tommie Agee for this guy? 74 Topps # 556--mega famous if overrated on ESPN
3	JIM CAMPBELL Cards	Catcher	Opening Day in 63
1	Mark Campbell Card	Catcher	Best year was his last of four, when he hit .303 for the '82 Daytona Astros, and was thus one of four on that team to hit .300, with Glenn Davis, Eric Bullock, and Ty Gainey.
1	Chris Campos Card	Pitcher	NDFA threw 12-1/3 innings for the 2005 Greeneville Astros
3	Juan Campos Cards	Pitcher	NDFA began stateside at Auburn in 2000, and competed most recently at Salem in 2003salem.GIF
1	Rafael Campos Card	3rd Base	In his most extensive action, hit .169 with a homer for the '89 Asheville Tourists
1	Ted Campusano Card	Pitcher	AKA Teofilio. 2 - 3 with a 4.62 for the '89 Auburn Astros, with a spot appearance that year (and no decision) for Osceola
1	Josh Canales Card	Infield	Carson, CA native signed as a free agent after his release by the Dodgers organization in March of 2003, and debuted in the Astros organization for Salem that year
61	Casey Candaele Cards	Infield/Outfield	the BEST
4	John Cangelosi Cards	Outfield	Cangelosi is the Astros' all-time leader (minmum 500 plate appearances) in a stat I made up called "special bases," which is:(Walks + Hit By Pitch + Stolen Bases) minus (2 x Caught Stealing) all divided by (Plate Appearances - Hits). I was trying to come up with a stat that would quantify a player's ability to get a base for you, regardless of his ability to hit. Only 4 players (again 500 PA minimum) have had a career special bases score over .200 with the Astros: Cangelosi at .255, Jeff Bagwell, Joe Morgan, and career walk-rate leader Joe Ferguson.
4	JJ Cannon Cards	Outfield	'74 TCMA Dubuque Packers # 15 & '78 TCMA Charleston Charlies Unnumbered. Off the Astromap in the trade to the Blue Jays that got the Astros Alan Ashby, but back on it with a vengeance when he managed the 2001 Legends to the best record in minor league baseball
14	José Cano Cards	Pitcher	Three years in the minors, including league MVP of the Florida State League in '87, then went 1 - 1 in 6 games in '89 for Houston with a 5.09 ERA; I guess he was released or traded out of spring training in '90. Most famously, the father of Robinson Cano
7	Mike Capel Cards	Relief Pitcher	1991 Houston bullpen hand went 13 - 1 with a 2.98 ERA for the 1983 NCAA champion Texas Longhorns; teammate Roger Clemens went 13 - 5 with a 3.04

2	George Capuzello Cards	Pitcher	Nice couple of cards here
6	Francisco Caraballo Cards	Outfield	Led the 2003 Martinsville Astros in triples--and in strikeouts. Second behind Pence in homers for the 2005 Lexington Legends, and was named a South Atlantic League All-Star as a result. May have hit a ceiling at Salem in 2006, as he led the Avs in strikeouts while his slugging dropped 75 points, and his average dropped 40. Played at AA Corpus Christi in 2007
2	Brandon Caraway Cards	Outfielder	Led the 2002 Lexington Legends in hitting with a .304 average
2	Conrad Cardinal Cards	Pitcher	Made six appearances with a loss for the '63 Colts, but a card appearance by his lonesome eluded him until 2003's Jewish Major Leaguers set
2	Kevin Carkeek Cards	Catcher	Split the catching duties at Tri-City in 2007 and at Salem in 2008 before his release in November of '08
2	Jesse Carlson Cards	Pitcher	3 - 0 with a 1.56 in 63 innings in his Astro organizational debut with the 2003 Lexington Legends, including a 36-inning scoreless streak. Didn't lose in 2004--despite a high ERA--meaning that the man has not lost in the Astros organization
1	Jon Carnahan Card	Catcher	2012 NDFA played that year at Gulf Coast then got three at bats for the 2013 ValleyCats before being released
9	David Carpenter Cards	Pitcher	Acquired from the Cardinals on August 19, 2010 in exchange for Pedro Feliz. 1 - 1 with a 3.52 at Lancaster thereafter, and was the winning pitcher in the JetHawks' five-pitcher no-hitter of Lake Elsinore on August 25. Began 2011 at AA Corpus, but was promoted to AAA Oklahoma in May, where he didn''t give up a run in 19 games. Made his major league debut with Houston on June 30, and pitched in 34 games thereafter, posting a 1 - 3 record and a 2.93 ERA. Probably the centerpiece (for the Jays, anyway) in the ten-player deal that Luhnow engineered with Toronto on July 20, 2012
8	Glenn Carpenter Cards	1st Base	Up through the minors, by Glenn Carpenter
1	Frank Carpin Card	Pitcher	Rule V pickup from Pittsburgh spent most of 1966 wth AAA Oklahoma Ciity, but also got into ten games with Houston, compiling a 7.50 ERA but a 1 - 0 record
10	Chuck Carr Cards	Outfield/Coach	Chuckie's hacking in that situation
1	Cesar Carrasco Card	3rd Baseman	Received from the Diamondbacks in July 2014 for Alex Sogard and was assigned to G-ville thereafter, hitting .228 with a homer
1	Hector Carrasco Card	Pitcher	100 mph fastball guy later with Marlins and Reds major league clubs
2	Robert Carrillo Cards	First Baseman	Led the 1999 Martinsville Astros in home runs with 7
1	Jesus Carrion Card	Catcher	Played 107 games at Gulf Coast Asheville and Osceola between 1983 and 1986
4	Charley Carter Cards	Infield	You can call him 1998 New York-Penn League Slugging, Doubles, and Extra Base Hits Leader--Just don't call him Sergeant
68	CHRIS CARTER Cards	1ST Base/DH	Righthander with little defensive utility but with the freest, easiest power swing you have ever seen was acquired from the Oakland A's on February 4, 2013 with Brad Peacock and Max Stass in exchange for Jed Lowrie and Fernando Martinez. Hit 29 Homers and walked 70 times to lead the team in 2013, while also posting a ridiculous 212 Strikeouts, which needless to say led the American League. "Only" struck out 182 times in 2014, while becoming the first Astros since Carlos Lee in 2007 to hit 30 Homers, and in fact finished second in the American League; however, Walks were down to 54
12	Albert Cartwright Cards	2nd Base	Second baseman from Nassau, The Bahamas played at Greeneville in 2007, then posted a team-best .410 OBP upon repeating there for 2008. OPSed .698 at Lexington in 2009 and was named the Legends' defensive Player of the Month for April. Hit .319 at Hiah A Lancaster in 2010, with a .381 OBP, but didn't do quite so well in Texas when given a promotion to Corpus
3	Earl Cash Cards	Pitcher	Here's an article I found on Cash written during his tenure with the '85 Osceola Astros
1	Jack Cassel Card	Pitcher	Brother of Patriot stringer Matt pitched at Round Rock and with Houston in 2008, going 9 - 5 with a 3.69 for the team at Dell Diamond, and 1 - 1 with a 5.64 for the one at Minute Maid Park
4	Vinny Castilla Cards	Third Base	Free agent that the Hun stumbled across in midseason was a key to the 2001 Central crown, and became known among those in the know as "The Mexican Mullet." Hit three homers (and was robbed of a fourth) in the first game of the doubleheader vs. the Pirates July 28, 2001
1	Braulio Castillo Card	Outfield	Journeyman spent a year in Tucson
3	Jeiler Castillo Cards	Pitcher	Venezuelan righthanded reliever spent two years at Greeneville and had a 5.00+ ERA in both of them. However: in 2008, his K/BB was 18:21 and in 2009 it was 34:14. Began 2010 at Tri-City, but was demoted quickly and spent the rest of the year at G-ville, where he fiunally got the ERA below 5.00
10	Erik Castro Cards	Infield	Tenth round pick in the June 2009 draft had played catcher at San Diego State University under Tony Gwynn, but played third base for the V-Cats during his debut season in the Astros chain. Missed all of 2010 with an injury, then OPSed .772 at Lancaster in 2011. Primary DH for the Cal League champion JetHawks in 2012, and led that team in RBIs, Total Bases, and Doubles, while co-leading in hits and finishing second in homers. Finished third to Domingo Santana and George Springer for the 2013 Corpus Christi Hooks in Homers, and led the team in Walks, too, while earning the Hooks' Player of the Month award in May and August. Began at OKC in 2014, but hit .175 and was released in June, to be picked up the Braves a month later
2	Guillermo Castro Cards	Pitcher	Summered in Daytona Beach '82 & '83; was 6 - 7 with a fine 2.49 in 1982.
89	JASON CASTRO Cards	Catcher	10th overall pick in the June 2008 draft hit .275 at Tri-City that summer, and was playing at AA Corpus Christi by June 2009. After JR Towles flunked out for the last time in April 2010, it was only a matter of time before Castro was prematurely recalled to back up Humberto Quintero, and it was . . . . premature, that is. Missed all of 2011 with a knee injury. Split time with Chris Snyder (mostly) and Carlos Corporan in 2012, and had a 92 OPS+ through the middle of August The primary starter in 2013, and propelled by an offensive attack that featured a bunch of doubles, found himself named as the Astros' only representative in that season's All-Star Game. Disappointing season in 2014, as he hit only .222, while being outplayed in most phases by his backup Corporan
22	Ramon Castro Cards	Catcher	First high schooler out of Puerto Rico to be a number one draft pick; Later dealt for Makarewicz and Jay Powell. Status as Marlins' catcher of the future up in the air with the August 2003 rape charges . . . .and settled after he bailed on them sometime during the 2004 season.
2	Joseph Cathey Cards	Infield	Starting shortstop for the 1998 Quad City River Bandits also finished second in walks and PA for the '97 Auburn Doubledays
1	Nick Cavanagh Card	Pitcher	Righthander from Redlands, CA pitched two years for the independent Frontier League Chillicothe Paints before being signed by the Astros in August of 2006. Assigned to Lexington, he moved up to Salem in 2007.
3	Eric Cavers Cards	Catcher	9 for 45 as the backup catcher for the 2004 Greeeville Astros--and much the same role for the 2005 Tri-City and 2006 Lexington squads

But '72 found him out of favor; by November, he had been traded with some other guy named to the Mets for Tommie Agee. At least we've got his 72 Topps # 56. The Astros' Media guide incorrectly states that he played with the 'Stros through'76.

1	Steve Christmas Card	Catcher	'83 Toros
4	Gary Christopherson Cards	3rd Base	Third baseman with good plate disipline but who had trouble fielding his third baseman's position also had the longest last name in Astros organizational history, or at least that part of its history that is covered in cardboard. I tell you, pretenders like Christiansen and Czanstkowski just can't hang
131	ANDUJAR CEDEÑO Cards	Shortstop	Hit for cycle 8/25/92 vs RIPI never had a problem with Cedeño--remember you don't get off the island if you don't swing-- but go here for a dissenting opinion
85	CESAR CEDEÑO Cards	Outfield	1st 20-50 Guy: 20 HR, 50 Stolen Bases--Hit for the cycle as an Astro twice. Five Gold Gloves, four All-Star nods, and probably offensive player of the decade for the '70's if you think about it.
4	Ed Cedeño Cards	2nd Base	Andujar's brother
3	Ramon Cedeño Cards	Outfield	No relation that I know of to Ed or Andujar (or Roger or Cesar for that matter) began at Gulf Coast in 1987 and hit .303 at Osceola in 1989 before being traded to the Twins with Gordon Farmer for Steve Lombardozzi
42	Roger Cedeño Cards	Outfield	Made the Hampton trade all that more difficult to live with--Glad he's gone. And now the Mets fans aren't so happy with him, either
3	Xavier Cedeño Cards	Pitcher	Minor league free agent signed in 2010 saw his first action for the organization at Corpus in 2011, and served as the fifth starter for the Hooks, finishing third on the club in strikeouts behind Jonnathan Aristil and Erick Abreu. Texas League Pitcher of the Week for the week of July 4, and a Texas League midseason All-Star. Got a late-season callup to the majors for that and made his major league debut on September 16. 2 - 0 for AAA Oklahoma with a 2.28 in 2012 before getting called up to Houston in late May, and served as a lefthanded one-out guy for the remainder of the Astros' year, racking up a save and 6 holds, while allowing 31% of his runners to score
7	Henri Centeño Cards	2nd Base	Got as high as AA Jackson in '95
2	José Centeño Cards	Pitcher	AKA Angel, pitched at Asheville in 1993
1	Mike Cerame Card	Trainer	Trained for the last Osceola Astros team before they morphed into the Kissimmee Cobras
2	Mike Cerefin Cards	Pitcher	Both his card appearances were in rare, '80's, team-issue sets
1	Bob Cerv Card	Coach	Purchased from the Yankees on June 26, 1962, Cerv--who had been an All-Star with the 1958 Kansas City A's and finished fourth in that year's AL MVP voting--played in 19 games for the Colts and hit .226 with a couple of homers before his release on July 30. He would not play professionally again
3	Leandro Cespedes Cards	Pitcher	Led the 2007 Greeneville Astros in ERA and WHIP. Upon his promotion to Lexington in 2008, led the Legends in innings pitched, strikeouts--and home runs allowed. Led the 2009 Lancaster JetHawks in Strikeouts and Wild Pitches. Pitched at Lancaster again in 2010 withouot much distinction, and also had a short promotion to AAA Round Rock
1	Robinson Cespedes Card	Outfield	The rhythmically-named Mr. Cespedes made his organizational debut with the 2002 Tri-City Valley Cats, for whom he was named team MVP. Closed out his career at Lexington the following year
1	Al Chambers Card	?	Played 57 games for the '82 - '84 Mariners; his '87 ProCards Columbus Astros # 841 mysteriously does not give a position for him. . . .
2	Adam Champion Cards	Pitcher	6'7" lefty was the 24th round pick in the June 2010 draft and pitched in 24 games for the NYPL champion Tri-City ValleyCats that summer. Repeated at Tri-City in 2011, win 4 losing one and posting a 3.35 ERA
10	Kevin Chapman Cards	Pitcher	Hard-throwing, wild lefty stop me if you've heard this before acquired in the Spring 2012 deal with the Royals that sent Jason Bourgeois and Q going thataway struck out more than 10 per nine for Corpus Christi that summer and made the Teaxs League All-Star team. Began 2013 at AAA Oklahoma and pitched in 45 Games for the Redhawks, posting a .193 BAA vs. lefties. Called up to Houston on August 9 after the 'Stros designated Aussie Travis Blackley for assignment. Pitched in 25 Games for the 51-111 Astros, and posted a 1.77 ERA
4	Scott Chapman Cards	Catcher	1997 Auburn Doubleday team MVP and NY-Penn League All-Star was also '99 Midwest League Top Prospect
7	Frank Charles Cards	Catcher	I watched on TV as he struck out in his first MLB at bat
2	Joe Charno Cards	Catcher	Caught 164 games in the Astros' chain, and--one unfortunate day for the Tourists in 1988--pitched one
4	Arnie Chavera Cards	Catcher	Best year was for the 1998 Kissimmee Cobras, for whom he hit .301 in 84 games, with 50 RBI
39	Raul Chavez Cards	Catcher	First minor league card appearance was in 1991, with the Burlington Astros. Traded with Dave Veres to the Expos for Sean Berry on December 20, 1995, and played 18 major league games before returning to the organization as a free agent signee January 5, 2000. By 2005, it was generally reckoned that Chavez, as the backup to Ausmus, threw runners out better than Brad himself.
4	Steven Checksfield Cards	Outfield	Led the 2002 Michigan BattleCats in homers with 16 while batting .218
1	Brad Chedister Card	Pitcher	37th Round Draft pick had a 10.20 ERA for the 2004 Greeneville Astrosgreeneville2.GIF
1	Bruce Chen Card	Pitcher	Picked up by the major league club and released within a space of about one month in early 2003--still active in the majors as of June 2010
12	Rocky Childress Cards	Pitcher	Was 1- 2 with a fine 2.98 ERA in 32 appearances for the '87 'Stros. In'88 he struck out 24 in 23 innings, but had a 6.17 ERA, and that was all for Rocky.
4	Rich Chiles Cards	Outfield	Number two pick in the June '68 Draft made his major league debut April 20 of '71, and played in 67 games. But '72 found him out of favor; by November, he had been traded with some other guy named to the Mets for Tommie Agee. At least we've got his 72 Topps # 56. The Astros' Media guide incorrectly states that he played with the 'Stros through'76.
8	Joel Chimelis Cards	Coach	Hitting Coach at Short A Tri-City from 2006 through 2010. Coached a batting champ in Jordan Parraz in 2006. Coached for Lexington in 2011,Corpus Christi in 2012, and for Quad Cities in 2013

2	Jason Chowning Cards	Pitcher	28th round pick of Houston in 2010 struck out 23 in 22-1/3 innings at Tri-City that summer. Led the 2011 Lexington Legends in holds, while posting a 2.45 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. 1 - 2 with a 0.66 in 19 games for Lexington in 2012 got him a SAL midseason All-Star nod. A promotion to Lancaster and a 14.54 ERA there got him released at the end of July
1	Austin Chrismon Card	Pitcher	26th round pick in the June 2013 draft posted a 1.02 WHIP at Greeneville in the short season that followed
1	Pat Christensen Card	Pitcher	6'4" righthander was made the 27th round pick of the Astros in the 2013 draft and posted 0.8 6 WHIP at Tri-City thereafter. Promoted to Quad Cities, he put up a 1.29 ERA in Davenport

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
4	Al Cicotte Cards	Pitcher	Grand-nephew of infamous Black Sock Eddie
2	Eduin Ciriaco Cards	Pitcher	Lefthander from Cabarete, Dominican Republic pitched in 17 games for the '07 Greeneville Astros. Posted a 2.65 ERA anad a 1.13 WHIP for the '08 Tri-City ValleyCats
14	José Cisnero Cards	Pitcher	NDFA righthander from the Dominican led the 2009 Greeneville Astros in innings pitched and starters' WHIP and was named team Pitcher of the Month for July and August. Co-led the 2010 Lexington Legends in starts and posted a 3.65 ERA. Led the 2011 Lancaster JetHawks in Games Started, while leading the farm system in K's. Threw two complete games at Corpus Christi in 2012 and led Hooks' starters in ERA. Began and ended 2013 with Oklahoma City, and spent some time in between with Houston, posting a 4.12 ERA in 28 Games
24	Jim Clancy Cards	Relief Pitcher	The guy who was SUPPOSED to take the departing Nolan Ryan's spot in the rotation for the '89 season; instead, was the starter 8/3 of that year when the Reds torched the 'Stros for 14 first-innning runs, and 16 1st inning hits. Only 7 runs were charged to Clancy, though, let's give credit to Bob Forsch, as well--there's plenty to go around.
6	Stubby Clapp Cards	Coach	Canadian who made the majors with the Cardinals in 2001 began as hitting coach at Greeneville in 2007 and was promoted to the same position at Lexington for 2008. Back to Greeneville for '09 and back to Lexington in '10. Promoted to manager in 2011, he called the shots at Short A Tri-City and stayed there for 2012, leading the V-Cats that year to Game Three of the NYPL Championship Series. Left the organization after the 2012 season to take a job with the Dunedin Blue Jays
2	Chris Clark Cards	Catcher	15th Round Pick in 2004 began at Tri-City and hit .256; spent all of 2005 at Single A Lexington
1	Cody Clark Card	Catcher	11-year minor league veteran was signed as a minor league free agent in March 2013, presumably to provide the AAA Redhawks with an everyday catcher, but due to an injury to Houston backup Carlos Corporan, found himself promoted to Houston in late August, and he made his major league debut for the Astros as a 31-year old on August 23, 2013
10	Dave Clark Cards	Outfield	Utility player who hit .206 in 93 games for the '98 Astros was named manager of the new Corpus Christi affilite in 2005--then led the team to a Texas League title in 2006 and was named Texas League Manager of the Year. Took over at AAA Round Rock in 2008 when Jackie Moore took the job as Cecil Cooper's bench coach
3	Kirk Clark Cards	Pitcher	Righthanded NDFA signed August 2, 2009 led the 2010 Lexington Legends, and indeed the entire South Atlantic League, in saves. Terrible 1.77 WHIP at Lancaster in 2011, though still managed 19 saves. Led JetHawks non-starters in home runs allowed in 2012 while posting a 5.36 ERA, and was released at the end of June
1	Leroy Clark Card	Pitcher	4 - 3 with a 3.90 for the 1975 Covington Astros and 0 - 0 with a 6.00 for the 1976 Dubuque Packers. Mike Lally remembers an overhead fastball and velocity that made it seem to rise.
6	Terry Clark Cards	Pitcher	Won 25 times while losing only 11 for the Tucson Toros in 1990 and 1991. Called up to start the second half of a double header Houston had with the Braves on July 24, 1990, and gave up 7 runs in 4+ innings.
1	Chris Clawson Card	Outifeld	Minor League free agent who had been released by the Braves played for the Sally League runners up Asheville Tourists in 1986, hitting .234
25	Koby Clemens Cards	3rd Base	8th Round Pick in 2005 deflated talk of nepotism by slugging .477 with a .398 OBP in his first season at Greeneville. First professional homer was a grand slam. A hand injury in 2006 while playing for Lexington kept Koby from getting up a full head of steam--or did he just reach his ceiling? Repeated at Lexington in '07, and raised his OPS to .756 while leading the team in homers with 15--but he also struck out 122 times. Made the conversion to catcher that many had predicted for Salem in 2008, and hit about .270 with a .420 SLG. The arrest for disorderly conduct that came after--even though charges were dismissed--sure didn't help the by-then beleaguered family name. In 2009, though, came a truly surprising and truly awesome year: Playing for the High A Lancaster JetHawks, Clemens led the California League in average, slugging, RBI and OPS, while finishing third in OBP. Clemens' 121 RBI led all of minor league baseball, and he was named Lancaster's MVP for the year. Hit 26 homers (good for third in the Texas League) at Corpus in 2010, and was named team co-MVP, despite a .241 batting average. Hit .235 at AAA Oklahoma City in 2011, and even his team-leaading 16 homers would not persuade the Astros to re-sign him
4	Paul Clemens Cards	Pitcher	6'4" righthander received from the Braves with three others on July 31, 2011 for Michael Bourn. 6.73 ERA and 1.74 WHIP at Oklahoma in 2012, but still somehow included in Multi Ad's PCL Top Prospect set
371	Roger Clemens Cards	Pitcher	UT graduate was already headed for the Hall of Fame when he decided to pitch a season for his quasi-hometown 'Stros. Won his first seven starts as an Astro, and was elected to start the 2004 All-Star Game held at Minute Maid Park. But Clemens got shelled during the All-Star game, and lost Game 7 of the 2004 NLCS, so he decided to come back and try again in 2005--when he improved his ERA to the point where he led the league, and won a playoff game in relief. But Roger was not happy with the playoffless Astros in 2006, and he returned to the Yankees for 2007, for whom he was somewhat underwhelming.
5	Wes Clements Cards	Infield	Perhaps the best player in the early 80's farm system never to get a major league at bat? Returned to the organization nearly 25 years after departing it when he accepted the managerial job at High A Lancaster before the 2009 season. Managed at AA Corpus in 2010
2	Donn Clendenon Cards	1st Base	Middling infielder copped an attitude in '69 when he failed to report after trade from Expos; Clendenon was returned, and the teams scrambled to make a bad trade for the Astros even worse. Never played an inning in Houston, yet somehow, the people at Topps came up with the 1969 Topps # 208, and the people at Milton Bradley followed suit. Clendenon unfortunately had the last laugh when he was named 1969 World Series MVP for the Mets, a team he evidently found more to his liking.
1	Bill Clinton Card	POTUS	93 Triple Play # 32
2	John Cloherty Cards	Catcher/Pitcher	That's right: Caught for the '76 Dubuque Packers and pitched for the '77 Cocoa Astros

2	Donn Clendenon Cards	1st Base	Middling infielder copped an attitude in '69 when he failed to report after trade from Expos; Clendenon was returned, and the teams scrambled to make a bad trade for the Astros even worse. Never played an inning in Houston, yet somehow, the people at Topps came up with the 1969 Topps # 208, and the people at Milton Bradley followed suit. Clendenon unfortunately had the last laugh when he was named 1969 World Series MVP for the Mets, a team he evidently found more to his liking.
1	Bill Clinton Card	POTUS	93 Triple Play # 32
2	John Cloherty Cards	Catcher/Pitcher	That's right: Caught for the '76 Dubuque Packers and pitched for the '77 Cocoa Astros
4	Bob Cluck Cards	Coach/Manager	Been there done that
