With Quintero on the DL with a shoulder injury. Catchers all over the Astros minor league system were moving up to cover J. R. Towles’ promotion to Houston. Brian Esposito was called up from Corpus to take Towles’ spot in Round Rock. Corpus was already down Lou Palmisano who is on the DL, recieved Koby Clemens to join Jonathan Fixler, who has appeared in just 4 games since getting called up to take Palmisano’s place. Clemens open spot in Lancaster was filled by Jordan Comandena, who just joined Lexington from Extended Spring Training when Fixler was called up to Corpus Christi and had only appeared in 3 games for Lexington. While this shuffle is temporary and all or most of it will be undone when either Q or Palmisano comes off the DL. In the mean time, it will be interesting to see how the Koby/Fixler tandem works out in Corpus.
