I think Reed has started slow at every stop in the minors.

Drellich says the Astros have shut down AJ Reed. Want him to rest up and come to ST in good condition.

White, mired in a 0-15 slump, jacked a 2 run homerun with 2 out in the bottom of the 9th to tie it up. The Estrellas eventually won it in 10. He did walk 4 times during that slump though.

A.J. Reed #9 on MLB.com's Top 20 Prospects in the AFL.
Ex-bus rider Josh Hader #8 on that list.

Wow, Sale and Bumgarner comps for Hader.

Wow, Sale and Bumgarner comps for Hader.
I assume the Sale comp is based on the funky delivery, not on talent level. Hader has never been mentioned as that level of prospect before.
-
Sale comparison here:
http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/26271672/v48208683/top-prospects-josh-hader-lhp-brewers
Don't remember his fastball getting up to 98mph, though.

He's done nothing but mature. He's the one the Astros will miss in this deal. If he'd gone to college this spring would have been his junior year. Considering how well he handled AA hitters I don't think it's a stretch at all to say he would have been utterly dominant against college hitters.

He really needs to work on that AVG. stat.

Also named MVP of the league (http://www.ligadom.com/noticias/1-portada/13037-tyler-white-gana-el-mvp-de-lidom-2015-2016).

At some point does White's actual production on the field push him higher up the prospect rankings?

Intereting that Aplin was the leader of Los Tigres too.

I'm hoping he won't be eligible for much longer. .325/.442/.496 at AA/AAA last year is just ridiculous.
-

We all know that high-AVG 1B/DH types without big HR numbers don't do well in prospect rankings. That said, he's hit homers more often (I think) in AAA and the Dominican than he did even in AA, so I suppose we can hope that he's learning how to tap into his power and elevate the ball more.

Nice profile on White in a writeup at BA (http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/longshot-white-ready-pay-astros/).
“It’s to the point Tyler White has to prove he can’t do it in the big leagues,” a scout said. “But I do think he has a place on the roster. (But) where is he going to play?” Another scout compared White to Matt Adams, the Cardinals’ hefty power hitter, but [Astros scout Tim] Bittner says White has improved his conditioning. “He wasn’t in the best shape, but he’s done a complete 180,” Bittner said. “There are not very many guys who can go and get in shape in minor league ball with the schedule they’re on and with some of the places they have to eat. “He’s gotten his body in tremendous shape. It’s a different player.”
