The New Astros Corp

by rlrafuse on Jul 31, 2011 10:54 PM CDT

Lets take a look at what the "New" younger Astros may look like since the trade deadline by using the Minor League Equivalency calculator:

Since Brett Wallace and Chris Johnson were both sent down to AAA to work on their hitting on the trade deadline day we'll go ahead and start with the two players who were were called up no that long ago:

Brian Bogusevic is no stranger to the big leagues: a left handed bat that can back up an outfield position and 1B.

	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	BB	K	BA	OBP	SLG	SB	CS
Actual: AAA	218	27	57	11	5	3	35	30	49	0.261	0.362	0.399	20	3

Equivalent:	226	21	49	9	4	2	27	22	53	0.217	0.288	0.319	16	3

Jimmy Paredes 3B: picked up last season in a trade deadline deal with the Yankees for Lance Berkman. By using his numbers from the minor leagues the calculator determines his major league numbers:

	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	BB	K	BA	OBP	SLG	SB	CS	HP
Actual: AA	385	69	104	22	4	10	41	15	84	0.270	0.300	0.426	29	12

Equivalent:	390	50	86	18	3	7	29	10	93	0.221	0.241	0.334	23	14

Jose Altuve 2B: Now we have already seen this "mini mouse" or "smurf", as JD and Brownie like to say fall right in line with the majoe league but...

	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	BB	K	BA	OBP	SLG	SB	CS	HP
Actual: AA	357	59	139	22	10	10	59	26	40	0.389	0.426	0.591	24	14

Equivalent:	365	42	115	18	7	7	42	18	44	0.316	0.348	0.416

J.D. Martinez LF: Straight from AA on to the big league stage, looking like the everyday LF:

	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	BB	K	BA	OBP	SLG	SB	CS	HP
Actual:	317	50	107	25	1	13	72	42	55	0.338	0.414	0.546	1	0	0

Equivalent:	330	36	89	20	0	9	52	29	61	0.269	0.328	0.416	0	0	0

Is this the new corp of youth that the Astros should be building around? If you add in the newly acquired pitching prospects do the Astros have a winning formula for the future? Who else do you see as a major player in the rebuild?

Does anyone else think Hinze looks a little Pujols like?

Quote from Wade:

“We’re calling Hinze up! He vaguely resembles Albert Pujols.”
