Transcript is in the link. They really like the Astros work to restock the farm.

They got a bunch of really interesting Cubans -- Freudis Nova and Anibal Sierra, a couple of shortstops, left-hander Cionel Perez.

Callis knows better as Nova is a Dominicano, not a Cubano.

Im sure but as someone that has to do radio interviews on lots of detailed information sometimes, I know how easy it is to mix something like that up. Remember, that's a transcript of a podcast, not an edited article.

Caught today's game and have to say that I really liked a couple of guys that the podcast mentions. Perez, for being as young as he is, looked really good. On the position side, Laureano is a player who always looks like he's in control, offensively and defensively. He slapped a single on the first pitch he saw, then worked a walk in his second AB. Very quiet in the box with no wasted movement. It's not hard to see how he had success last year.
