CARDS I HAVE PLAYER POSITION REMARKS
1 Derek Dace Card Pitcher
Lefty was fourth in the NY-Penn League for 1996 in wins with nine, and I'm thinking--though I'm not sure--that he was the PTBNL when the Astros picked up Andujar Cedeño from Detroit on September 11, 1996

5 Brian Dallimore Cards Infielder
1991 - 1999 Jackson Generals logo
As high as AA Jackson in '98; Led the '97 Quad City River Bandits in runs scored and stolen bases. I was listening on the radio April 29, 2004, when Dallimore made his major league debut for the San Francisco Giants, grounding out against Florida's Brad Penny. But because I had other things to do, I wasn't listening or watching the following day, when his first major league hit was a grand slam, off Dontrelle Willis. . . .
2 Zach Dando Cards Pitcher
32nd round pick in the June 2011 draft pitched at Greeneville and tied for the club lead in saves and posted a 1.00 WHIP. Repeated at Greeneville in 2012 at the age of 21 and went 4 - 0 with a 3.18 ERA (but no saves)

Houston Astros 1965 - 1993 logo41st round pick in June 2011 was sent to Greeneville, where he led the club in OBP, SLG, OPS, RBI, doubles and homers--but somehow wasn't named team MVP. Also one of five 2011 G-ville Astros to strike out exactly 51 times. Injury limited Davidson to 9 games and a .156 average at Tri-City in 2012
19 Kevin Davidson CardsCatcher
28th Round Selection of the Astros in the June '02 Draft hit .221 at Martinsville that year. Invited back for 2003, he responded with a .331 average, and was named team MVP. This got him a bunch of major league rookie and prospect card appearances in 2004, but a series of promotions did not go well. Received a promotion to AAA Round Rock during the 2007 season, but was later released.

2 Jesus De La Rosa Cards
?
 
Doubled and scored a run for the '75 big club in three at bats; but those darn 75 Iowa Oaks cards--they don't give a position! I wouldn't know WHAT Jesus did, if it weren't for the fact that he played those three games for Houston and is thus listed in the Media Guide under the All-Time Roster. . .Plus, I can give him the cool icon next door.

Martinsville Astros 1999 logo
Dominican infielder who made his US debut at Greeneville in 2008 played at Tri City and Lexington in '09. Converted to pitcher for 2010, he began the year as Tri-City's closer, but finished one behind Michael Ness in saves for the year. Still, posted a 0.64 ERA. Led Lexington in saves for 2011, and ended up with a fine 1.10 WHIP for the year. Switched to starter in 2012 at Lancaster, but the move did not agree: 2 - 9 record, 7.70 ERA and a 1.80 WHIP. Pitched at three levels in 2013, making three Starts in 29 Games at Corpus, pitching 12 times for OKC, and 11 times for Houston, where he posted a 5.40 ERA. Pitched at three levels in 2014, including at Houston, and the work at Corpus and OKC was pretty good. The work at Houston less so. Placed on waivers October 9, and picked up by the A's
