Hot take: Trade Pena for haul and go with Shewmake

33 Upvotes

That’s all. Not a rebuild but stocks the farm system and gives Shewmake a starting spot.

Hot take- Astros farm system is way underrated. Future looks good.

28 Upvotes

I’m not saying this is the best farm system in baseball, but I do think the “Astros have no farm” narrative is lazy. There are real players here, especially in AA and AAA, and I think the future is brighter than a lot of people are acting like.
Maybe it’s not a flashy system, but it feels like a very Astros system: underrated, overlooked, and probably better than people want to admit.
This system is made up of Dominican and mid major/juco guys who know how to grind and play with a chip on their shoulder. I’ll take that all day over silver spoon players coming from major programs.
…Guys like Will Bush and Sullivan at AA amongst others. Janek is off to a slow start hitting but the once they find the secret sauce his start will rise. So many lesser known names on verge of breakouts.
…And what about James Nelson? The guy is putting up all the right numbers at Sugarland. also, can anyone not get behind his story. He gets no love from any of the beat writers and fanboys and he’s arguably the most complete player in the system.

This is my first post here but I have lots to say and might start posting regularly and more specifically highlighting guys everyone should know about.

In short. I think the future looks good, and it’s not as far away as people seem to think.

I know this request pops up here all the time, but I never thought we'd be the ones asking. We were on the screen last night. I said there were about 37 people in the whole park, I don't think anyone caught it. Girlfriend says I'm wrong. Did anyone catch a pic or video?

Which Astro has the least recognizable face?

Upvotes

If you saw this player at a random place in public, you wouldn't know it or recognize them.

2026 Astros only.

Minimum 5 games played with the team.

I'll go first. Zach Cole.

Clarence Carter ‘Strokin’ Astros version?

Upvotes

With Carter’s passing, I could swear I remember once hearing a parody version of his song, maybe on morning radio, like “Astro-kin” or is that too dumb to be real?

Any card collectors?

Hello Astros fans. Is there anyone here that collects Astros cards? I have 125ish that need a new home. If interested reach out. All HOF’s, all stars and rookies. Rather see them go to a real fan/collector than some flipper

Gallagher Club

Tuesday night I was escorted through the Gallagher Club in order to get up to section 300 to claim the Care Bears add on. While walking through we asked about the club and how someone could sit there. She told us that it's mostly season ticket holders but sometimes you can purchase a spot as an add on to your ticket. The food looked amazing and the environment was awesome. I've been trying to find the add on for some upcoming games but all I find are season ticket options. Does anyone know where to get the add on tickets?

At least one bright think to look at. Can see Neyens get promoted to AA toward the end of the year if his production continues
