Some really good things happening in the 'stros minor league teams the last few days/weeks for those of you looking for a bright spot.

-Chris Johnson went yard tonight.

-Jason Castro hitting .343 with an 839 OPS his last 10 games.

-Jordan Lyles threw a complete game, 1 run, 1 walk, 5k gem.

-Koby Clemens went yard again; on pace for 40 HR 100 RBI.

-Corpus' OF showing signs of life.

-Cody Hinze hit 2 dingers tonight to keep up his MONSTER pace.

-JD Martinez continues his domination of A ball.

-David Duncan was near perfect in his first appearance of the year.

-Robert Donovan threw another good game tonight.

To be fair, it's not all good:

-Several high draft picks are struggling (Mier, Dydalewicz, Seaton)

-Wes Wright had a bad bad night tonight

-Several players who started off well have cooled significantly (DeLome, Flores, Cartwright, Austin, Meyer)

But overall, I'd say the good signs outweigh the bad.  Chins up!
