2013 Houston Astros Top 16 Prospects

Posted on November 27, 2012 by mlbdirtstaff

Just a few short years ago the Houston Astros had one of the worst farm systems in baseball. General Manager Jeff Lunhow and his crew have changed the way this franchise thinks and, via trades and the draft, he has turned this system into one of the best in all of baseball.

Below are our top 16 prospects with 2013 opening day age, position, and comments on each player. This is a collaborative effort and the final outcome does not mirror mine, Mikey’s, nor Spencer’s personal lists. Below the top 16 is a small list of additional notable names to keep an eye on. Enjoy. -Jonathan C. Mitchell

2012 Houston Astros Top 16 Prospects

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Jonathan C. Mitchell

The Houston Astros are headed in a different direction. This was apparent when they acquired two of their top three prospects in trade last season via trade and filled out much of my top 16 with more players acquired in trade.

They now have Jeff Lunhow running the show and his approach to the game is much different than the old regimen and in a good way. The system is on the up-and-up and has three legitimate prospects sitting at the top and has built some depth after those three.

Below are my top 16 prospects with 2012 opening day age, position, and comments on each player. Below the top 16 is a small list of additional notable names. Enjoy.
