Astros add two minor leaguers to 40 man roster

Vladimir Sutil, the Hooks' starting shorstop last year, and Fernando Abad, a pitcher at Lancaster and Corpus Christi, were added to the 40 man roster. Sutil, 25, and Abad, 23, would have become minor league free agents if they were not added to the roster prior to Nov. 9. This fills up the 40 man roster for now. But additional spots will open up on the 40 man roster when ML players declare for free agency.

from corpus, watched sutil play quite a bit this year, extremely exciting defensively

not much offensively, but not terrible either; anyway i really like him as a defensive prospect

btw locke should be a 4th outfielder next year in houston or move yordiny or abecrombie up and have him take over a starting spot in triple a
