ROSTER MOVES/TRANSACTIONS
Nothing to report since my last post except that RHP David Paulino was activated from the Astros restricted list on Sunday only to be promptly moved to the 60-day DL after undergoing surgery on Friday to remove a bone spur from his elbow.
FALL/WINTER LEAGUES
The Arizona Fall league will start play on Tuesday, October 10th and will conclude with the Championship game on November 18th. The full schedule can be found here. The Astros will be represented on the Mesa Solar Sox by the following players:
RHP Dean Deetz
RHP Riley Ferrell
RHP Josh James
RHP Brendan McCurry
LHP Framber Valdez
1B Yordan Alvarez
3B/2B Nick Tanielu
OF Kyle Tucker
2017 Buies Creek Manager Omar Lopez will be the Manager for the team and former Astros farmhand and legendary minor league home run hitter Mike Hessman will be one of the hitting coaches. Hessman is now a minor league hitting coach in the Tigers system. Another Houston connection, Jake Rogers, will be one of the catchers for the Solar Sox. Rogers was included in the deadline deal for Justin Verlander and will represent the Tigers. The full team roster can be found here.
None of the Caribbean Winter League schedules and rosters have been posted on the MLB winter league page yet, but those teams generally start their seasons from early October to late October. However, I have no idea how the political situation in Venezuela, the storm damage in Puerto Rico and the earthquake damage in Mexico may impact those schedules.
The Australian Baseball League will start their schedule with exhibition games on November 9th and will continue play through early/mid February.
One final note ... in case you missed it, I posted my Rule 5 Primer, including the eligible Astros players earlier this week.
