See Martinez, Seth
Astros lost:
RHP Layne Henderson - DET
RHP Ernesto Jaquez - CHW
C JosĆ© Ćlvarez - STL
SS Yander MartĆnez - MIN
Alvarez had some chatter as a possible breakout prospect, but none of these guys seem like anything other organizational depth - i.e. Iām not gnashing my teeth that another Johan Santana is walking out the door.
Astros picked:
LHP Max Roberts - SEA
LHP Bryan King - CHC
RHP Manuel Urias - PHI
LHP Luis Rodriguez - CHC
Urias is one to keep an eye on. Big kid (6ā6ā) signed out of Mexico as a 16 year old (heās 21 now). Still has some projection, but also hasnāt pitched above A Ball.

Jaquez had promise but slowed by injury. Alvarez had no future here and probably none anywhere. Henderson showed flashes, but is easily replaceable. Martinez was low level and behind guys with more obvious potential. None of them will be missed.
