The Astros have one of, if not the top minor league system in baseball. The 2014 opening rosters have been set for each team in the top four levels of the Astros' system.

Will either or both be in Corpus Christi in time for the minor league showcase on June 10 in Houston? In the meantime, let's take a look at the rosters.
