Shortstop Received by the Astros from the Red Sox in exchange for Kevin Cash in July 2010, Sanchez filled in for Clint Barmes when the former was injured early in 2011 and ended up playing 75 games at various infield positions while hitting .240. Played the entire year at AAA Oklahoma in 2012, was their primary shortstop and hit .320. Granted free agency following the season

Gerardo Sanchez Card
Pitcher
2012 NDFA righthander pitched successfully at Gulf Coast that year. Promoted to Quad Cities, he had a 57:14 k?BB ratio AND a .301 BAA. Farm brass focused on the strikeout-to-walk and had him promoted at the end of the season to Lancaster, where an improved (or lucky) groundball to flyball ratio kept his ERA to an almost-unheard-of-for-Clear-Channel 1.69

Named the Lancaster MVP after the season. Led the 2013 Corpus Christi Hooks in Homers and Total Bases and Strikeouts, finishing second in Walks, while hitting .252.

Gonzalo Sanudo Card
Pitcher
Acquired from the Twins at the end of Spring Training 2013 for Mike Kvasnicka, Sanudo went on to have an amazing season. Placed at Greeneville, he was installed as the teams closer, and led the team in WHIP, which makes sense considering he struck out 30 in 21 innings and walked one. Promoted to Tri-City, he was almost as good: 20 K's in 13 innings, and only 4 men he faced reached base. The Astros, perhaps struggling to determine Sanudo's ceiling, finally, absurdly, promoted this righthander, who had only pitched in the GCL before 2013, to AA Corpus. Even there, in a short sample, playing as a 21-year old at AA, he was not overmatched, as he posted a 3.86 over 4-2/3 innings. Watch this dude

Outfield Acquired from the Braves in the Michael Bourn deal that went down on the eve of the trading deadline 2011, the left-handed Schafer got into 30 games for the Astros as the season went down and hit .245, and played some centerfield D that got him noticed well. The Astros turned a blind eye to his felony marijuana arrest of October 4 and installed him in center for 2012. He continued to play great defense, but developed something of a reputation for lackadaisical attitude and for running his mouth off on his Twitter account. Waived in November 2012

Jonathan Singleton Cards 1st Base Singleton was acquired with Jarred Cosart and two others in exchange for Hunter Pence on the last day of July 2011. Singleton is your prototypical high-strikeout, high power first baseman, and although he slugged .497 at Corpus in 2012, it remains to be seen whether or not he can retain the power as he rises towards the majors--because the strikeouts will stay. Signed a team-sweet deal during the 2014 season, and played for the major league team thereafter, hitting a Grand Slam vs. the Twins that was glorious to watch, but also ending the year with a .168 BA, and 134 K's in 362 PA's

George Springer Cards Outfield #1 draft pick in June 2011 had actually made his first card appearance for Team USA in 2010. Signed juuust before the deadline, he played in only eight games for the Tri-City ValleyCats, OPSing .696. Did very well for Lancaster in 2012, as he OPSed .955 while finishing third in the Cal League in triples, stealing 28 bases with only 6 Caughts, and homering 22 times, but an end-of-year promotion to AA Corpus went only so-so, as he OPSed .630 in 22 Games. Began 2013 at Corpus and hit 18 Homers, OBPing .399 before being named the MVP of the Texas League All-Star Game. Then he went and hit 19 Homers and OBPed .425 at AAA Oklahoma City. Played in the 2013 Futures Game. Did not make the club out of ST in 2014, but had been called up by the end of April, and, while being named AL Rookie of the Month for May, showed a proclivity for both Homers and Strikeouts before a left quadriceps injury ended his season in July. Moving forward I think both 40 Homers and 250 K's are a real possibility if the team gives him the room
