The Crawfish Boxes, a Houston Astros community

Jeff Reese and I took a look at the Astros farm system over at Bullpen Banter. There's some video the BB staff has taken this year and links to more. With our lists you get two top 15s and two perspectives and we're happy to answer any further questions or listen to comments you have. Thanks for reading.

A good read from an outsider with statistical objectivity (i.e. no rose colored glasses). Here's a few juicy tidbits to entice you to click the link: On JR Towles: "Towles is definitely a better hitter than he showed in 2008." On Drew Sutton: "fast-forward a year and you have a potential long-term replacement for Craig Biggio."
