Down on the Farm-AAA

The Halfwits acquired some minor league talent in the offseason. Here's a look at some of the key minor leaguers who could be contributing to Houston soon:

AAA (Round Rock Rockheads)

Position Players:

Edward Osting: Seems destined for 2B or 3B in the majors. Should be a player who doesn't excel in any one area but is good in all of them- can field, throw, run, and hit well.

Manny Ramirez: Another 2B/3B type. Not as much power as Osting but a good solid hitter who can run.

Santiago Santaya: A middle infielder who can run and field. Only question is whether he can hit lefties.

Pitchers

Gordon Forest: The pitching gem of the system. This 22-year old could be an ace (and fairly soon) if he can stay healthy: that's the only knock scouts have on him. If he can avoid the injury bug he seems destined for greatness.

Terrence Cuyler: He's got nasty stuff and could be a very good starter if he can cut down on the walks.
