CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
1	Mike Hacker Card	Pitcher	5'9" lefthander was a 25th round pick in the June 2008 draft and excellent in relief for the 2008 ValleyCats, with a 2.73 ERA and a .187 BAA. Pitched at Lexington in 2009, with a little less success.
14	Josh Hader Cards	Pitcher	Lefthander acquired in the Bud Norris prior to the 2013 deadline pitched at Quad Cities upon his arrival to the organization, starting five times and striking out 16 in 22-1/3 IP
4	Kevin Hagen Cards	Pitcher	Long-time minor league veteran won ten or more games four times at three different levels; spent parts of 1987 and all of 1988 with the Toros
1	Camron Hahn Card	Catcher	Second round pick in the June 1997 draft never got past Martinsville, due to injuries
12	Dave Hajek Cards	2nd Base	1990 Sally League All-Star rose to Tucson by '94 and got serious consideration in 1996 for the third base spot previously held by the departedDave Magadan. The cold reality is that Hajek was 3 for 12 in 13 games with three runs scored over the '95 and '96 seasons. Went 2 fvor 3 with a double, 2 RBI and a run scored in Mark Petkovsek's no-hitter on May 16, 1994.
25	John Halama Cards	Pitcher	On October 1, 1998, became the Player to be Named Later in the Randy Johnson trade. Up and down with the Mariners, but did pitch a perfect game in the PCL--not by any means an easy thing to do.
1	Adam Hale Card	Pitcher	32nd round draft pick pitched at Greeneville in 2006
1	Chad Hale Card	Pitcher	Pitched for the River Bandits in 1997 following his acquisition from the Red Sox organization. After that--who knows?
3	Josh Halemanu Cards	1st Baseman	Honolulu native was a long way from home with the Auburn Astros in 1994 and 1995
2	Bill Hall Cards	Shortstop	OPSed .899 for the 2006 Brewers--but was on the open market in 2011, when he played 46 games for the Astros, hitting .224 before his release
4	Billy Hall Cards	Pitcher	1995 Midwest League All-Star was hurt in '96 and never recovered
1	Marty Hall Card	Pitcher	Pitched at Asheville in 1997
5	Bryan Hallberg Cards	Pitcher	Righthander inished tenth in ERA (2.44) in the 2006 New York-Penn League. The only member of the 2006 ValleyCats to be on the Opening Day roster for the '07 version. Got a promotion to Lexington in August. Nice 2.68 ERA and nice 1.14 WHIP for the '08 Salem Avalanche. Pitched at High A Lancaster in 2009.
2	Robert Hallgren Cards	Outfield	Spent '76 with Covington and Dubuque; topped out in '77 with Cocoa, before moving on to the Rangers' organization. Hallgren "had some pop for a small guy" per his teammate with the 1975 Covington Astros, Mike Lally.
2	Kyle Hallock Cards	Pitcher	Lefthander out of Kent State was # 10 pick in the June 2011 draft, and posted a fine 1.22 WHIP thereafter at Tri-City
4	Miles Hamblin Cards	Catcher	12th round pick in the previous June's draft finished third on the 2011 Tri-City ValleyCats in total bases and was their primary catcher. Limited to two early April Games with Lexington in 2012, Hamblin returned in 2013 at Quad Cities, and mostly DHed, serving as a First Baseman 14 times and as a Cattcher twice. He hit .202 in that limited duty and was released in late June
14	Mark Hamilton Cards	Pitcher	In his short career in the Astros organization, this TCU grad has played infield at Martinsville in 2000, played the Outfield at Michigan in 2001, pitched at Michigan the same year, pitched at Tri-City and Michigan in 2002, and pitched at Salem and Lexington in 2003. Results at all positions so far have been mixed, although Topps is certainly all over him, and he was a Midwest League All-Star in 2001
2	Milo Hamilton Cards	Broadcaster	Radio voice of the club from 1985 called Mike Scott's division-winning no-no, Darryl Kile's no-hitter, The six-pitcher no-hitter at Yankee Stadium, and Biggio's 3000th hit
1	Ryan Hamilton Card	Pitcher	12th round pick in the June 2000 draft: one short season at Martinsville, then goodbye . . .
2	Anthony Hampton Cards	Outfield	Looks like he missed the card shoot and had to come back that night
2	Mark Hampton Cards	Pitcher	Gave it a whirl at Auburn in 1990
134	Mike Hampton Cards	Pitcher	Bulldog hit .311 AND won 22 in 99; becoming the first guy since Bob Gibson in 1970 to win 20 and hit over .300. This season as I'll argue, was an aberration almost as wild as Mark Whiten (lifetime .259) hitting 4 homers and driving in 12 RBI in a single game. Returned to the fold as previously damaged goods for 2009--trips to the DL and an ERA over 5.00 were the predictable results.
3	Tim Hamulack Cards	Pitcher	Lefty pitched well at three stops between 1997 and 1999, leading Michigan in ERA for 1999. What'd we do, trade him away?
2	Buddy Hancken Cards	Coach	Managed the Texas League Amarillo Sonics to a pair of second place finishes in 1966 and 1967, then became Bench coach in Houston under the Harry Walker regime, 1968-1972
1	James Hand Card	Nice Old Man	Nice Old Man Included without explanation in the 1982 TCMA Tucson Toros set
3	Ron Hanisch Cards	Trainer	Medicine Man for the '91 - '93 Asheville Tourists
1	Devern Hansack Card	Pitcher	Righthander from Pearl Lagoon, Nicaragua had a 2.18 to 1 K/BB ratio for Tri-City in 2002 and a 1.65 ratio for Lexington in 2003
46	JA Happ Cards	Pitcher	Acquired from the Phillies July 29, 2010 in the deal that sent away Roy Oswalt, Happ was immediately inserted into the rotation, and went 5 - 4 with a 3.75 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. But that was the best it ever got: at turns inconsistent, or just plain bad, Happ was sent to the Blue Jays in a ten-player deal five months before his 30th birthday by the wheeler/dealer Luhnow
2	Carroll Hardy Cards	Outfield	Played halfback for the 1955 San Francisco '49ers, bounced around the majors for a while, then hit .194 for the 1963-64 Colts. Pepsi included him in their 1963 set.
5	Larry Hardy Cards	Pitcher/Coach	Acquired with Joe McIntosh in the trade that sent Doug Rader packing to San Diego, Hardy pitched in 15 games at Houston in '76 and got an SSPC for his trouble. By '78, he was doing more coaching than pitching at AAA Charleston
2	Don Harkness Cards	Infield	Pitched for two really bad Florida State league affiliates in '77 and '78, at Cocoa in '77 under Jimmy Johnson and at Daytona in '78 under Leo Posada
7	Al Harley Cards	2nd Base	Once misidentified as Jim Dougherty
117	PETE HARNISCH Cards	Pitcher	Two great and two slightly less than average seasons for the Astros. 1991 All-Star, during a season in which he would lead the NL in BAA at .212, and H/9IP at just over seven, and pitched a scoreless sixth inning in the interleague tilt at Toronto. Famously involved in six 1 - 0 games during that 1991 season, winning two, losing two and gaining two no-decisions. 1992 Opening Day starter and loser. Led the NL in BAA and H/9IP again in 1993. Struck out the side on nine pitches vs. the Phillies on September 6, 1991, and did it in the ninth inning. Harnisch is thereby one of nine pitchers in MLB history to have accomplished the nine pitch/3K thing in the ninth inning, and is one of only four starters. Jim Bunning and Ron Guidry had done it prior to Harnisch; Trevor Wilson of the Giants did it subsequently, ironically vs. the Astros. Harnisch was later screwed by the Mets and chewing tobacco both.
2	Justin Harper Cards	Pitcher	0 - 1 with a 9.00 in 6 innings and 5 games for the 2009 Tri-City ValleyCats and 0 - 0 with a 5.00 in 18 innings for the 2010 Greeneville Astros
38	Lucas Harrell Cards	Pitcher	Waiver pick up from the White Sox led 2012 Astros starters in IP, ERA and strikeouts and was named the team's Pitcher of the Year after finishing second among NL rookies in strikeouts and wins, and second among Major League rookies in Innings Pitched
3	Mark Harrington Cards	GM	Went from head Groundskeeper to Assistant GM to GM for the Auburn Astros between 1994 and 1996
2	Buddy Harris Cards	Coach	Pitched in 22 games for Houston in 1970 and '71 with a combined 6.32 ERA. Shares the 1971 Topps # 404 Rookie Stars with Roger Metzger
4	Lum Harris Cards	Manager	70 - 105 as skipper of the Houston club in 1964 and 1965; Harris is thus last on any list of Houston managers ranked by winning percentage, and second to last on any list ranked by wins (in front of only interim one-game-winner Salty Parker).
1	Reggie Harris Card	Pitcher	Played professional football for the Seattle Seahawks, in the majors for the Phillies, and in 1998 for the New Orleans Zephyrs
14	Rusty Harris Cards	Infield/Coach	Debuted at Auburn in 1987, and actually hit .294 during a partial season at AAA Tucson in 1990. Never hit higher than .264 otherwise, and his last playing year was 1992 for the Jackson Generals. Coached in 1994 at Auburn and 1996 at Jackson. . .
2	Will Harris Cards	Pitcher	November 2014 waiver wire pick-up was perhaps the team's best reliever in 2015--at least until the entire bullpen imploded
6	CHUCK HARRISON Cards	1st Base	Even though the back of his 1967 Topps # 8 says different, Opening Day in 1966; hit .248 in three years for the Astros.
5	Billy Hart Cards	Infield	Fifth round draft pick only played ten games at Tri-city that summer due to injury, but did well in the limited action, hitting .282 with a .364 OBP. Edged for the 2007 Carolina League batting title, hitting .305405 to Einertson's .304933. Hit .260 with 23 doubles in an injury-shortened campaign at Corpus in '08
1	Andy Harter Card	1st Base	Free agent played 1988 at Asheville
17	Dean Hartgraves Cards	Pitcher	Threw a 7-inning no-hitter for the Asheville Tourists on his 22nd birthday, August 12, 1988, then threw another six-inning jewel for the Osceola Astros one year, nine days later. He thus became, with Juan Quintana and Don Wilson, one of only three players in organizational history to throw two no-hitters while toiling for the franchise. Made his major league debut at the age of 29 years 254 days, and won his first major league game only six days shy of his 30th birthday. 2 - 0 with a 3.91 in his 59-game stint with Houston in 1995 and 1996, before being left on waivers and claimed by the Braves in July of '96.
1	Jason Hartman Card	Strength Coach	I had never seen a card for a strength coach, 'til I saw this one . . . . Worked for Round Rock in 2007.
2	JC Hartman Cards	Infield	In 1955, at the age of 21, was a teammate of Satchel Paige on the Kansas City Monarchs. Played 1961 for the AA Houston Buffaloes, then after starting 1962 at AAA Oklahoma City, was called up to the major league Houston club July 21, 1962. Looks like he did the same thing in 1963, started at AAA Oklahoma City, then got called up to Houston. Always claimed to make more money selling teammates haircuts than playing baseball
4	Bill Hartnett Cards	Pitcher	Eighth round selection in the 1993 draft played at Auburn in 1993 and at Osceola in 1994
1	Bob Hartsfield Card	Manager	Manager of each Auburn Astro team between the time of baseball's return to Cayuga County in 1982 and 1985 would become a scout, and sign Earl Cash, Nelson Rood, Rob Parker, and Calvin James.
2	Michael Hasley Cards	Pitcher	Spent '74 and part of '75 at Covington, spent parts of '75 and '76 at Dubuque
56	BILLY HATCHER Cards	Outfield	Opening Day 87 - 89, but what's really important here is that he hit the biggest home run in Houston history, his 14th inning solo shot off Jesse Orosco, that tied the sixth game of the '86 NLCS at 4, and assured that the 16-inning affair would be remembered as one of the greatest games ever.
17	Chris Hatcher Cards	Outfield	1991 Midwest League All-Star (and MVP of the midseason game) had reached AAA Tucson by 1994, but could advance no further. Good power, with 70 home runs and 20 triples through 95, but four seasons with more strikeouts than games? Ya gotta make him a
5	Grady Hatton Cards	Manager	His success at AAA Oklahoma City--two league titles in three years--got him a Minor League Manager of the Year award in 1965, and a promotion to Houston, but after a good first year showing for the 'Stros in 1966, did not translate to further success.
2	Michael Hauschild Cards	Pitcher	6' 3" righthander struck out 39 in 30-1/3 at Greeneville in 2012 and led G-ville regulars in WHIP and ERA after being made the Astros 33rd round pick in the previous June's draft. Began 2013 at Quad Cities, and was 6- 1 with a 2.92 in early July when he was promoted to Lancaster, fo rwhom he went 3 - 3 with a 4.72 the rest of the way. Got three critical outs while giving up no hits in Game Four of the 2013 Cal League Finals vs. Inland Empire, as Lancaster became Cal League champions in Game Five
1	Chris Hawkins Card	Pitcher	Left-handed pitcher gave it a whirl for Auburn in 1987
2	Dustin Hawkins Cards	Outfield	37th Round Pick from Ogden, Utah hit .288 at Martinsville in 2002, and .188 at Lexington the following year
7	LaTroy Hawkins Cards	Pitcher	Acquired for Matthew Cusick on July 30, 2008, this good setup man who for some reason couldn't close actually saved 11 for the 2009 squad when Jose Valverde went down with an injury.
1	Rick Haynes Card	Infield	Hit .265 at Covington in '74 and got the promotion to Dubuque for '75 - where he flunked out, with a .200 average and only six RBIs.

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
2	Jacke Healey Cards	Shortstop	27th round draft pick out of Youngstown State in 2010 OPSed .544 for Tri-City in his professional debut, then dropped about 25 points when he repeated in '11. Released in November of that year
2	Beau Hearod Cards	Pitcher	Hit .228 but hit five homers in his debut for the 2003 Tri-City Valleycats; led the Lexington Legends a year later with 25, AND bumped his average up, too.
13	Ben Heath Cards	Catcher	Primary catcher for the 2010 Tri-City ValleyCats (at least before his August promotion to Lexington) led club regulars in slugging and OPS. Sally League Player of the Week for August 10, 2010. Split 2011 between Lexington and Lancaster, then spent almost all of 2012 at Lancaster as well, although a late season promotion to Corpus kept him from celebrating Lancaster's Cal League title with the JetHawks
4	Bill Heath Cards	Catcher	Acquired for a couple minor leaguers along with Dave Nicholson, Heath was the 'Stros primary backup catcher to John Bateman in 1966. I guess the 'Stros realized that there wasn't exactly a shortage in the organization of backup catchers, what with Hal King, Ron Brand, and Dave Adlesh, so in May of '67 they sent Heath to Detroit for cash.
15	Jeff Heathcock Cards	Pitcher	Right-handed reliever was used by Houston in '83, '85, '87 and '88. Gave up 9 home runs in 56 innings in '85, but still somehow kept the ERA to a respectable 3.36. Had a 5.00 + ERA at both Tucson and Houston in '88. What happened, Jeff? Owner of a lifetime .029 batting average in the majors.
3	Brian Hecht Cards	Pitcher	Sidearmer was real good at Auburn AND Quad City in '97
1	Bobby Heck Card	Asst. GM	Director of Scouting from October 24, 2007 and Assistant General Manager from October 30, 2008 may just have an idea what he's doing when he puts together those June drafts
10	Danny Heep Cards	1st Base	Co-MVP (with Alan Knicely) of the 1979 Southern League. Led the 1980 PCL in hitting with a .343 and won the league MVP that year all by hisself (though '80 teammate Knicely had 30+ more RBI). Got traded to the Mets for Mike Scott, then was Nolan Ryan's 4000th strikeout victim.
1	Matt Heidenreich Card	Pitcher	Acquired along with no-hit author Chris Devenski in the Brett Myers trade with the White Sox in July 2012, Heidenreich made 7 Starts for Corpus Christi down the stretch before returning to the Texas League in 2013, where he posted an 8.23 ERA. Sent to Gulf Coast in late August, where he pitched in six Games before finishing the season with Corpus
19	Tyler Heineman Cards	Catcher	2012 New York-Penn League batting champ also led his Tri-City ValleyCats in OBP and was named an MiLB.com organization All-Star in December. Clubbed 13 homers and hit .268 at Lancaster in 2013 for the eventual Cal League champs
2	Al Heist Cards	Outfield	Fifth pick in the regular phase of the '61 expansion draft played 27 games for the '62 Colts, with only one extra base hit, but was playing through '65 with AAA Oklahoma City, where he accumulated 109 RBIs.
2	Aaron Heitzman Cards	Pitcher	Led the 2003 Lexington Legends in innings pitched
15	TOMMY HELMS Cards	2nd Base	AAACK!! The Morgan trade! '66 ROY for the Reds was Opening Day starter for the Astros 1972 - 1974; Traded to Pittsburgh for a 29-year old Art Howe.
6	Jon Helquist Cards	Shortstop	Two minor-league all-star appearances for '99 Martinsville and 2001 Michigan.
1	Keith Helton Card	Pitcher	Signed as a five year minor league free agent, and umm, pitched in at Jackson in 1992
4	David Henderson Cards	2nd Base	Astros' third pick in the June, 1987 draft got plenty of chances, and was overmatched, everywhere he went, most notably at Osceola in 1990, where he hit .184 in 86 games
3	Steve Henderson Cards	Outfield/Coach	Pretty good player over a 1000-game (and 976-hit) major league career; just not, unfortunately, for the 1988 Astros. First base coach under Terry Collins in 1994, and his hitting coach in 1995 and 1996
1	Drew Henley Card	Strength Coach	Joined the organization in 2011 at Lexington after graduating from Northern Arizona University
8	Mike Henneman Cards	Relief Pitcher	All-time Tiger leader in saves was contemplating retirement by the time the 'Stros got him, and managed just 8 saves and 21 innings pitched in 1995.
18	Randy Hennis Cards	Pitcher	First and only major league start (as well as third and last major league appearance) came in the last game of the season October 3, 1990. Gave up only one hit (a sixth-inning double to Ron Oester) and no runs. Was removed after the sixth with the Astros leading 2 - 0. Then Juan Agosto betrayed Hennis by giving up two, thus setting up Dave Smith for his 53rd and final major league win. Hennis was left with a 0.00 ERA in 9-2/3 innings for his major league career. A little like Cameron Drew in that you gotta wonder whatever happened to Hennis. I mean, he spent the following year at Tucson, but the '91 Astros--young, talented, and a certainty to finish last--couldn't give Hennis a shot? And why wasn't he back for '92? Oh well, at least Hennis became part of a board game.
6	Oscar Henriquez Cards	Pitcher	Traded with RHP Manuel Barrios and (eventually) RHP Mark Johnson to the Florida Marlins for OF Moises Alou on November 11, 1997. Henriquez had pitched in four games with a 4.50 ERA before the trade, and pitched in 15 games with an 8.55 for the Marlins in '98. I know Dave Dombrowski kinda had his hands tied behind his back, but the thing is, Oscar didn't even have good numbers in the minors . . .
6	Ralph Henriquez Cards	Catcher	Number Two pick in the June 2005 amateur draft out of Key West High began at Greeneville, but struggled some with the bat. Repeated in 2006, and struggled some more. Received a promotion to Lexington for '07, and struggled yet again. Traded to the Mets for lefthanded pitcher Josh Appell on November 28, 2007.
24	Butch Henry Cards	Pitcher	Inside the Park HR (!) vs Pirates 5/8/92. I will always remember a game Henry pitched April 19, 1992 vs. the Padres at home. Andy Benes (and he was real good, back then--he'd end the year with a 3.35 ERA) started for the Pads, and threw nine innings of shutout ball. But here's the thing: so did Henry. No-one then (or now) would put Butch Henry in the class of Andy Benes, but on that day, Henry would not yield. Benes gave up five hits and walked one, while Henry gave up seven hits and walked none. I seem to remember Henry being in trouble all day long, but he always worked out of it. The game went into extras tied at 0. Finally both managers pinch hit for their starters, and Xavier Hernandez ended up getting the decision over Rich Rodriguez as the Astros won 1 - 0 in 11. Henry would pitch in the majors til '99, but I would think that game was his finest hour.
2	Carlos Henry Cards	Infield/Oufield	Hit .097 for the Gulf Coast Astros in 1986, yet somehow managed to play until '89, when he maxed out at Asheville
10	Doug Henry Cards	Relief Pitcher	Actually rather effective at times, especially during the 1998 season, when he picked up eight wins and had a 3.04 ERA, Henry had become, by the time was traded to the Giants for triple-A caliber pitcher Scott Linebrink in July of 2000, notable almost exclusively for his firestarting properties.
11	Dwayne Henry Cards	Relief Pitcher	Middle reliever for the 1991 club was fast but straight. Got the win for pitching the 12th and 13th innings of Darryl Kile's first start April 24, 1991.
1	Julian Henson Card	Catcher	Signed by the Astros organization shortly after he was released by the Mariners in May of '08, Henson was in turn released by the Astros after a season in which he split 28 games between Tri-City and Lexington, and in which he hit .198
1	Russ Herbert Card	Pitcher	Pitched 2000 at Round Rock
1	Geysi Heredia Card	Pitcher	5 - 1 with a 1.25 for the 1984 Gulf Coast Astros; got as high as the FSL Osceola squad in 1986.
1	Ricardo Heredia Card	Outfielder	Three0year veteran of the DSL came to America to play for Greeneville in 2010, and hit .155
22	Carlos Hernandez Cards	2nd Base/Shortstop	Quad City/Jackson/New Orleans player 95-00 was traded to Seattle for Carlos Maldonado on March 21 of 2000. After the trade, Hernandez took the edge in major league games played, 2 - 0
65	Carlos Hernandez Cards	Pitcher	17-2/3 scoreless innings to begin major league career; First loss came in his eleventh ML game. Also pitched a no-hitter in the minors.
1	Diory Hernandez Card	Infield	Signed as a minor league free agent in December of 2011 after his release by the Braves, and installed as a starting infielder at AAA Oklahoma City to begin 2012. Hit .159 however and was released in Mid-May
9	Enrique Hernandez Cards	Second Baseman/Leftfield	AKA "Kike"," which I have to imagine is pronounced Kee-Kee. Sixth round pick in the June 2009 draft from Toa Baja, PR finished third in hits in the Gulf Coast League that summer and led the Astros in doubles and RBI, and was later named GCL MVP. Promoted to Tri-City, where he split time at second with Ben Orloff. Primarily a left-fielder at Lexington in 2011, where he OPSed .667. Most of 2012 was spent at Lancaster, where he finished third on the club in doubles and proved the second-most difficult Cal-Leaguer to strike out. Hit .236 with 13 Homers at Corpus in 2013.
10	Federico Hernandez Cards	Catcher	Switch-hitter from Caracas finished third in slugging on the 2008 Greeneville Astros then hit .231 for the 2009 Lexington Legends. Primary catcher for the 2010 Lancaster JetHawks, for whom he slugged .426. Split 2011 between Lancaster and Corpus christi, hitting above .200 for neither
2	Fernando Hernandez Cards	Pitcher	Starter who led the Cal league in K/IP for 1993, pitched two games for Detroit in 1997, and won twelve games at Monterrey of the Mexican league in 1998, split time between Round Rock and New Orelans in 2000.
1	Hector Hernandez Card	Outfield	Looks like Choice sportscards called him 'Hector' and said he was born 9/26/81, while the Greeneville Astros said he was named Jose, and was born 8/22/84. Either way, looks like he hit .264 in 32 games for the 2004 Appalachian League champions.
3	Javier Hernandez Cards	Pitcher	Reliever from Humacao, Puerto Rico spent time at Gulf Coast, Asheville, and Osceola between 1990 and 1992.
11	Manny Hernandez Cards	Pitcher	Long minor league career began in the Gulf Coast league at Sarasota in 1979. Spent three years at Daytona Beach, including the '81 FSL championship year, and '83, when Hernandez was 10 - 3 with a 2.99 in 102.0 innings. After two and a half years at Tucson, Houston brought him up in June of 1986; he pitched in 9 games with a 2-3 record and a 3.90 ERA. In '87 he split time again between the PCL and the NL, but the major league ERA ballooned to 5.40. '88 was spent exclusively at Tucson, and at the end of the year he was signed as a minor-league free agent by the Mets. He pitched one inning for New York in 1989 . . .and there the trail ends. That's his story, and this is his one major-league card.
2	Pedro Hernandez Cards	Outfield	Was an infielder when he played for the '78 Daytona squad, then got traded to Toronto in November of '78 with JJ Cannon and Mark Lemongello for Alan Ashby. Mostly played at AAA Syracuse and AA Knoxville, though he got 9 at bats for Toronto in '79 and '82. No hits, but did score a run. The Astros must've signed him back as a minor league free agent in the offseason after 1984, and he played outfield for the '85 Tucson Toros and Columbus Astros.
5	Runelvys Hernandez Cards	Pitcher	Free agent righthander previously in the Royals "organization" made four ineffective starts for the Astros in 2008, most disastrously on July 7, when he gave up 10 runs on 13 hits and four walks in four innings at Pittsburgh. Second in starts at Round Rock that year, where he posted a 4.91 ERA to go with 8 wins.
2	Teoscar Hernandez Cards	Outfield	MVP for the 2011 DSL Astros began 2012 at Gulf Coast and was promoted to Lexington in August, and was named the organizations 13th best prospect by Baseball Prospect Nation after the season. Led the 2013 Quad Cities River Bandits in At-Bats, Triples, Homers and Total Bases--though he did strikeout 135 times
55	Xavier Hernandez Cards	Relief Pitcher	X-man--a title or a curse?
1	Hector Herrera Card	Infield	1986 at Sarasota (.238-0-2) and 1987 at Auburn (.224-0-11)
5	Ed Herrmann Cards	Catcher	All-Star in 1974 for the White Sox caught Dierker's no-hitter--and batted .291 in 56 games in 1977.
2	Steve Hertz Cards	Third Base	Three year-minor leaguer in the mid-60's Houston system went hitless in four at bats for the Colt .45's in 1964, but did score two runs as a pinch runner. He shared the 1964 Topps # 544 with Joe Hoerner, and finally got his own cards in 2003 with the Jewish Major Leaguers set.
1	John Hessler Card	Pitcher	Five year minor leaguer pitched a no-hitter for the '77 Gulf Coast club, then got as high as AA Columbus (for whom he appeared on his 1980 baseball card), and compiled a 23 - 29 minor league record
2	Mike Hessman Cards	1st Baseman	Minor League free agent signed 1/30/12 was a PCL All-Star for Oklahoma the following season, during which he hit a PCL-leading 35 homers for the Redhawks, and slugged .512

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
7	Jack Hiatt Cards	Pitcher	Marginal major leaguer--at least with the bat--played in 79 games for the '71 and '72 big league club and collected 53 hits. Would resurface in the organization again in 1983, when he would manage the Southern League Columbus Astros. Roving catchers instructor for the organization starting in 1984 and ending after the 1987 season
1	Phil Hiatt Card	Outfield	Hit his 300th minor league homer for the New Orleans Zephyrs on June 15, 2004
17	Jim Hickey Cards	Pitcher/Coach	The Iceman" ended an eight-year minor league career with the Columbus Astros in 1989, then began a career as pitching coach that has seen stops at Burlington, Asheville, Jackson, and New Orleans. You had to feel good for Mr. Hickey on July 14, 2004, when he was promoted from AAA New Orleans to replace the fired Burt Hooton as pitching coach of the major league club. But when he was dismissed after the 2006 season, not so much.
9	Chris Hicks Cards	Pitcher	14th round draft pick in 2008 signed late and only pitched in six games for Tri-City that year. Lancaster JetHawks Pitcher of the Month for April 2009. Right-handed reliever missed all of 2010 with a shoulder injury before splitting time between Lancaster and Corpus in 2011, posting a 1.15 WHIP
2	Ralph Hicks Cards	Pitcher	17th round selection of the Astros in the 2000 draft out of Centenary; his 2001 Pittsfield Astros card tells us his nickname is "the Grave-Digger."
482	RICHARD HIDALGO Cards	Outfield	Go the other way,Richard!
8	Chris Hill Cards	Pitcher	Minor-league free agent was 16 - 7 with a 2.93 in the pitcher-friendly FSL for the Osceola Astros in 1992. The 16 was good enough to lead the league, and got him a spot on the All-Star team
1	Marc Hill Card	Bullpen coach	Hired as bullpen coach for Hal Lanier at the beginning of the 1988 season, Hill was dismissed when Lanier was, on October 3, 1988
30	Mike Hill Cards	Outfield	1999 New-York Penn-League All-Star and August 2000 SAL Player of the Month hit .300 at Michigan in 2000 and at Lexington in 2001. Appears to have left baseball after splitting 2004 between AA Round Rock and AAA New Orleans
1	Drew Himes Card	Pitcher	19th round pick in the June 2005 draft out of Illinois Wesleyan went 3 - 0 with a 6.37 for Tri-City that summer
1	Carlos Hines Card	Pitcher	Righthander was 2 - 1 with a 5.53 in 21 appearances for the 2008 Round Rock Express
1	Bob Hinson Card	Infield	Pat Doyle and the Old Time Database call him "Bobby Joe," but to the ever-conservative TCMA, he was simply "Bob." Hit .292 for the '82 Auburn Astros with 12 ribbies, then hit .286 with 30 RBI's for Asheville in 1983.
2	John Hinson Cards	2nd Baseman	Clemson alumnus picked in the 13th round of the June 2011 draft hit .284 at Tri-City in his pro debut. Injuries limited him to 15 games at Lexington in 2012
13	Kody Hinze Cards	1st Baseman	46th round pick by the Pirates in the June '05 draft instead went to Angelina Junior College in Lufkin Texas, then signed with Houston as an NDFA. Assigned to Greeneville for 2008, he finished second in the Appy League in walks. Began '09 at Lexington, but left the team for personal reasons in May and played thereafter at Gulf Coast, where he was August Offensive Player of the Month Midseason South Atlantic League All-Star for the Lexington Legends in 2010, and led those Legends in homers for the year with 19. Led the 2011 Lancaster Jethawks in homers, OPS and walks, yet was denied the team MVP. Hit .212 for Corpus in 2012, and was released August 13
1	Parker Hipp Card	2nd Baseman	2013 NDFA hit .159 in 24 Games for Greeneville after his signing
50	Jason Hirsh Cards	Pitcher	Second round pick in the June 2003 draft made a strong debut for the Tri-City Valleycats, going 3 - 1 with a 1.95. Went 13 - 8 with a 2.87 at Corpus Christi in 2005, and transformed himself from a good prospect into the organization's best. Texas League Pitcher of the Year in 2005, PCL Pitcher of the year in 2006, and traded to the Rockies as part of a package to get the disappointment Jason Jennings for 2007.
1	Matt Hirsh Card	Pitcher	Jason's little brother was picked in the 30th round of the 2005 draft, and went 1 - 2 with a 5.61 at Greeneville that year, finishing fourth on the team in innings pitched and giving up a team-high 8 homers Released before Jason was traded.
2	Victor Hithe Cards	Outfield	His .302 with 53 ribbies for the '87 Asheville Tourists wasn't quite good enough to make the Sally All-Star team--Junior Felix and hard-hittin' Mark Whiten got two of the nods instead. Traded with pitcher Dave Johnson on 3/31/89 to the Mets for AAAA guy/backup catcher Carl Nichols

Ho

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
5	Todd Hobson Cards	Outfield	Had a good career at the University of Arkansas, but not with the Auburn Astros or the Asheville Tourists
3	Kevin Hodge Cards	Pitcher	Twins' 19th round pick in the 1998 June draft was 1 - 4 with a 5.48 for the 2005 Corpus Christi Hooks and 0 - 0 with a 3.68 for that same year's Round Rock club before being named as the PTBNL in a trade to the Phillies June 16
2	Kerry Hodges Cards	Outfield	First professional season was with Martinsville in 2001 and he hit .246 with 43 strikeouts in 49 games. Called back for 2002 and assigned to Michigan, he hit .251 with 74 strikeouts and 20 walks
2	Kevin Hodges Cards	Pitcher	Started for Jackson during the '98 and '99 seasons, traded to the Mariners for Matt Mieske
14	LJ Hoes Cards	Outfield	Acquired in a 2013 deadline deal from the O's in exchange for Bud Norris, Hoes started against Norris the following day and got his first MLB hit. Made the 2014 Opening Day roster, but was sent down before 50 Games were out for lack of offensive production. Callups up in May and end June-July went no better, and as he is called up a third time for September, Mr. Hoes awaits his first MLB multi-hit Game
2	John Hoffman Cards	Catcher	Signed by the Colt .45's before the 1963 season and sent to Modesto, Hoffman tied John Paciorek for fourth on the club in homers. Played at Durham, Oklahoma City, and Houston as a 20-year old in 1964, making his major league debut July 30. His One Year Winner says "Returned to the minors in 1964, he was instrumental in the development of Houston pitchers for several years as a player-coach."
2	Mike Hogan Cards	Pitcher	Led the New York-Penn league in ERA for 1982 with Auburn, then finished second in wins--to Evil Voodoo Doctor Jose Rijo--in the FSL while with Daytona for 1983. Pitched a couple of average years at AA Columbus in '84 and '85 to finish up his career.
7	Grant Hogue Cards	Outfield	35th round pick in the June 2009 draft hit .284 for Greeneville that summer, and won the team's Defensive Player of the Month award in both July and August Had a higher OBP (.355) than SLG (.325) IN 117 games for Lexington in 2010. For 2011, led Lancaster in stolen bases, and finished third on the team in hitting
1	Brian Holberton Card	Catcher	Ninth round pick in the June 2013 draft was the primary Catcher at Greeneville that year, and though he hit .225, led the team in Homers while finishing middle-of-the-pack in At-Bats
2	Drew Holder Cards	Outfield	Then-Director of Player Personnel Paul Ricciarini said this 16th round pick in the June 2006 draft looked like "Chris Burke's twin"--but we won't hold that against him..
1	Mike Holland Card	1st Base	Went 1 for 5 with an RBI and a run scored in Dave Aloi's 1973 no-hitter for Covington. Also played for Cedar Rapids in 1974, hitting .258 with 7 RBI's.
3	Sid Holland Cards	Coach	Coached three teams in two years--Auburn, Kissimmee, and Quad City, in 1997 and 1998.
2	Juan Holleday Cards	Pitcher	Could not cut the mustard for the 1992 Auburn Astros
1	Krishawn Holley Card	Pitcher	39th round pick in 2010 spent three years with Gulf Coast, most notably in 2012, when he had a 0.68 ERA and a 0.66 WHIP. Struck out 33 in 33-2/3 Innings at Greeneville in 2013, and got a late-season promotion to Tri-City
5	Brian Holliday Cards	Pitcher	Astros' fourth round selection in the June '91 draft out of Anchorage, Alaska was so-so for the '91 Auburn club, then awful for Burlington in 1992. For whatever reason, he got a shot with High A Osceola in '93, and we can assume that, also, did not go well.
8	Jarrod Holloway Cards	Pitcher	10th round pick in June 2008 was 0 - 5 in 13 games with a 4.07 for the '08 Tri-City ValleyCats and missed '09 after elbow surgery
2	Brian Holmes Cards	Pitcher	Wake Forest graduate was the Astros 13th-round pick in the June 2012 draft. Assigned to Short A Tri-City thereafter, Holmes led the V-Cats in Innings Pitched, Strikeouts, and Starters' WHIP, being also the only one on the team to throw a complete game shutout. Started ten Games for Quad Cities in 2013
72	Chris Holt Cards	Pitcher	Fourth round pick in the '92 draft went 11 - 10 with a 2.27 for Quad City in 1993. Later he would go 2- 2 with a 1.87 for the '95 Jackson Generals. But this hard luck perhaps found its best expression in 1997, when - in a year where the average National League ERA was 4.00--he went 8 - 12 with a 3.52. Was more junky than hard luck in '99 and 2000, but Chris is more deserving of our compassion than our scorn. And of course, the hard luck continued after he was traded to the Tigers.
1	Brett Holum Card	Infield	I think the '90 ProCards issue really gives one the best idea of what a beautiful place to play baseball Asheville's McCormick Park really is.
1	Mike Hook Card	Pitcher	Second selection in the June '86 draft--as most second round picks do--got plenty of chances, but got no higher than single A Asheville in 1988. I guess he was pretty good with Gulf Coast in '86.
9	Burt Hooton Cards	Coach	150-game winner for Cubs and Dodgers--as well as author of an April 1972 major league no-hitter--was hired as pitching coach by Nolan Ryan at Round Rock for 2000; the following year, he replaced Vern Ruhle at the major league level. The first half swoon in 2004--not much aided by Andy Pettitte's unavailability--after huge preseason expectations cost him his job on July 14, 2004, when he was replaced by Jim Hickey. Eight years as pitching coach at the AAA level followed
1	Clint Hoover Card	1st Base	U-Cal graduate debuted for Pittsfield in 2001 and eneded his career at Tri-City the next
1	Steve Hoover Card	Outfield	33rd Round pick in '99 did not advance from that year's Auburn squad
4	Neder Horta Cards	Shortstop	Received from the Yankees with Jim Deshaies and Dody Rather for Joe Niekro on September 15, 1985. Horta would play with little distinction until 1988, getting as high as A Asheville.
4	Stan Hough Cards	Coach	Acquired in the deal that sent minor league catcher Bruce Bochy to the Mets on February 11, 1981, Hough would approach the Mendoza line for AA Columbus in '81 and '82 as a player before being enlisted as a coach for Daytona in '83 and '84 and Tucson in '85.
6	DJ Houlton Cards	Pitcher	Originally picked out of high school by the Mariners in 1997, Houlton instead attended the University of the Pacific, and was then made the 11th round choice of the Astros in 2001. At Martinsville that year he was 5 - 4 with a 2.50. He had a complete game and a .240 BA against, and he was named one of the league's top prospects for his efforts. Was a Texas League Top Prospect after 2004, as well. Taken as Rule V draftee by the Dodgers after his 2004 season at Round Rock, Houlton won six games for Los Angeles in 2005.
1	Scott Houp Card	Outfield	Never hit higher than .228 at three levels between 1983 and 1985. Was, however, a member of the 1984 South Atlantic League champions Asheville Tourists.
4	JR House Cards	Catcher	Signed as a minor league free agent January of 2006, House began the 2006 season at AA Corpus Christi, but got two promotions, and got into four games with Houston. Had an 1.121 OPS for Round Rock in 31 games. Signed again by the Astros for 2008, and was assigned to Round Rock, where he hit .306. Perhaps separated at birth from Koopa Paratroopa
2	Pat House Cards	Pitcher	Drafted from the Braves organization by the Astros in the November 1966 minor league draft, this left handed reliever spent 1967 with Oklahoma City, and went 7 - 4 with a 2.04 while striking out 99 in 97 innings. That earned him a September callup, where he got into six games for Houston, winning one and losing none with a 4.50 ERA. He began 1968 at OKC again, getting called up and sent down again in June, then coming back up to stay mid-July. Overall, he was 3 - 1 with a 1.80 for the '89ers in '68, and 1 - 1 with a 7.71 for the Astros. Was 9 - 9 with a strong 2.57 for Oklahoma in 1969 before being traded to the Reds for Jim Beauchamp on December 16, 1969.
1	Paul Householder Card	?	Two runs and a hit for the '87 Houston team, but his only card appearance is in the '87 Jones Photo Tucson Toros set
11	Adrian Houser Cards	Pitcher	Second round pick in June 2011 split his debut season betweeen Gulf Coast and Greeneville, posting a .265 BAA. Spent all of 2012 at Greeneville, and finished third on the club in Innings Pitched, Strikeouts, and Starts, while posting a 4.19 ERA
2	Ken Houston Cards	Trainer	Great name
1	Kevin Houston Card	Pitcher	Great name might have helped him pitch a seven-inning no-hitter for Gulf Coast in 1977, but didn't help him get higher than the Florida State League within the Astro organization. Neither did switching from pitching to position-playing after we traded him to Pittsburgh with others for Phil Garner. Had a 108.00 ERA for Buffalo in 1982.
1	Ryan Houston Card	Pitcher	28-year old righthander was 1 - 3 with a 7.54 over 39 games with the 2008 Round Rock Express
1	Larry Howard Card	Catcher	Righthanded hitter caught three no-hitters for Astros farm teams in 1968, two with AA Dallas-Fort Worth<./a> and another with AAA Oklahoma City. Made his major league debut as a 25-year old in August of 1970 and hit .307 the rest of the way for Houston. Never pictured by himself for Topps, Howard did get onto the 1971 Topps and O-Pee-Chee # 102 Rookie Stars with Ken Forsch
5	Thomas Howard Cards	Outfielder	Free-agent signing on 12/4/96 hit .247 for the '97 squad, playing in 107 games
18	WILBUR HOWARD Cards	Outfield	Good Times Bad Times: Led off Opening Day '76 after a fairly solid 1975 campaign, in which he was eighth in the NL with 32 stolen bases and hit .283. Ever-declining production for the big club through 1978 left him at Charleston for 1979, and at Yucatan (Mexican League) for the duration of his career afer that.
63	ART HOWE Cards	1st/3rd Base/Mgr	Acquired straightup for Tommy Helms, this former manager for the Astros held the club hit streak record for many years. The cards, as always, tell a story, too.
5	Jack Howell Cards	1st Base	61 games, 71 at bats and 18 hits for the 98 - 99 big club. About what you expect for a back up to Jeff Bagwell in his prime.
2	Jimmy Howick Cards	Shortstop	21st round pick in the June 2011 draft did not play that year because of a knee injury, then split 2012 between Greeneville and Lexington, combining to slug .275 on the year

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
11	Trent Hubbard Cards	2nd Base	When this ex-Astro farmhand reached the majors with the Rockies, he would start calling himself 'Trenidad.' Got as high as AAA Tucson with the 'Stros, then had major-league career with nine teams, accumulating 196 hits and 16 home runs between 1994 and 2003. A non-roster invitee for the 2005 Astros, Hubbard did well in Grapefruit League action, but was sent to Round Rock, and later asked for his release after a lackluster start at AAA.
1	Chris Huchingson Card	Pitcher	10 - 5 with a 3.13 for the '85 Tourists, then a year with Osceola in 1986
76	John Hudek Cards	Relief Pitcher	Fast but straight. His appearance in the 1994 All-Star game after having started the year at AAA Tucson remains one of the most startling success stories in club history. But in the end, what everyone told him in the minors before 1994 was true: he needed a second effective out pitch, especially after his fastball began losing velocity in 1995. His rapid rise, however, produced some really cool cards.
1	Dave Hudgens Card	Coach	Roving batting instructor after 1990 became hitting coach at Jackson, then disappeared off the Astromap
2	Max Hudgson Cards	Outfield	AKA Maximiliano for the 2003 Martinsville and 2004 Greeneville 'Stros
4	Casey Hudspeth Cards	Pitcher	Righthander with an assortment of pitches out of the University of South Florida began his career as a fourth starter at Tri-City in 2006 and at Lexington in '07. Split both '08 and '09 between High A and AA, doing the best at Salem in 2008, with a 4 - 7 record and a 3.96 ERA
13	Aubrey Huff Cards	3rd Base/Right Field	Acquired from the Devil Rays for Ben Zobrist and Mitch Talbot on July 12, 2006, Huff was neither a rousing success nor a stunning failure for the Astros.
16	Royce Huffman Cards	3rd Base	Appy League Top Prospect for '99 began with a rapid rise, but has stalled in the high minors, spending all of '01 and '02 at Round Rock and all of '03 and '04 at New Orleans; played in the 2004 Triple A All-Star game
6	Grant Hufford Cards	Trainer	Trained at Greeneville, 2008 - 2010, then moved on to Lexington in 2011. Spent 2013 with the Cal League champion Lancaser JetHawks
1	Justin Huisman Card	Pitcher	Major leaguer with the Royals in '04 pitched 8 innings with a n 11.25 ERA for the '06 Express
9	Rick Huisman Cards	Relief Pitcher	Dominant minor-league closer for the Giants blew out his arm and was released. The Astros picked him up and after a short stint at Tucson in 1993, he was pretty dominant again for Jackson in 1994 -- 3-0 with 31 saves (out of a possible 33) and a 1.61 ERA were his contributions to the the '94 Texas League Eastern Division champs. In August of '95, the Astros traded him to the Royals for Pat Borders. It was with the Royals that Huisman made his major-league appearances, but by the end of '97, he was let go, and picked up by the Giants again. After a year at AAA Fresno, the Astros got him, and had him pitch two years at New Orleans. By then a set-up guy, he was 3-1 with a 3.32 for New Orleans in '99, and 3 - 5 with a 3.48 for the 2000 Zephyrs
2	Jeff Hulett Cards	Infield	12th round pick in 2008 out of Okaloosa Walton College played mostly Short at Tri-City in '08, then played mostly Third at Lexington in '09
15	Philip Humber Cards	Pitcher	Author of the 21st Perfect Game in major league history as a member of the White Sox, and demoted to OKC then DFAed as a member of the Astros
5	Rich Humphrey Cards	Pitcher	57th Round Pick spent four years in the minors, led the 1995 Kissimmee Cobras in appearances, saves, and ERA, and bridefly got as high as AAA Tucson in 1996.
2	Ryan Humphrey Cards	Outfield	Split left field duties with Frank Almonte at Greeneville in 2009, hitting .219. Hit .210 in 36 games when he repeated at G-ville in 2010
1	Terry Humphrey Card	Catcher	Acquired in the deal that sent Dave A Roberts the excellent pitcher, Milt May and Jim Crawford to the Tigers for Leon K Roberts the slightly-less-than-average outfielder, Gene Pentz, Mark Lemongello, and of course Humphrey. Acquired in December of '75, he was gone by the end of the first week of June after having spent a couple months at AAA Memphis. In the Astros organization for six months, he never played a game with Houston, yet was captured on his 1976 SSPC # 373.
5	Justin Humphries Cards	Catcher	22nd-round pick in the 2001 draft hit .225 at Martinsville in 2001 but was brought back for 2002. Since, he has been remarkably consistent averagewise: he hit .265 in 2002, .269 for Lexington in '03, and .269 for Lexington in '04. Starting off for Salem in '05 didn't go so well: demoted to Lexington, Humphries returned to form and hit .270 for the '05 Legends.
1	Jordan Hunt Card	Pitcher	Acquired as a DFE, whatever that is, in 1999 and pitched for the 2000 Martinsville team.
13	Bert Hunter Cards	Outfield/Coach	Second pick in the 1985 draft broke in with that year's Sarasota (Gulf Coast) Astros, and in a career within the Astro minor league system that spanned seven years, twice stole 50 bases in a season, but only once hit over .250. That once was in 1987 on a pretty darned good Asheville Tourists team. Hunter was traded to the Mets sometime in 1991 off of the Jackson AA roster, and returned to Mississippi in 1997 to serve as hitting coach for the Generals
4	Bob Hurlbutt Cards	Catcher	After blowing his arm out in the Phillies organization--and not pitching at all in 1989--re-entered baseball at short season Auburn when the 'Stros signed him as a free agent at the age of 25 in 1990. Was at AAA Tucson by 1992, where he had a sub 3.00 ERA in 20 games.
2	Jake Hurry Cards	Pitcher	2 - 3 in 12 starts for the 2005 Greeneville Astros and 1 - 0 with a 3.80 for the 2006 Tri-City ValleyCats
9	Bob Hurta Cards	Pitcher	After blowing his arm out in the Phillies organization--and not pitching at all in 1989--re-entered baseball at short season Auburn when the 'Stros signed him as a free agent at the age of 25 in 1990. Was at AAA Tucson by 1992, where he had a sub 3.00 ERA in 20 games.
1	Mark Hutton Card	Pitcher	Well-traveled AAA hand born in Adelaide, Australia
1	BJ Hyatt Card	Pitcher	4th round pick in June '09 draft got off to a rocky start as he posted a 2.17 WHIP in only 8 games at Greeneville
4	Matt Hyers Cards	Shortstop
4	Cole Hyson Cards	Pitcher	His 1991 Classic/Best Osceola Astros # 4 actually shows Todd Jones
