Dominican Summer Astros 2010
« on: May 29, 2010, 01:17:00 pm »
With the new emphasis on the Dominican and the splashy signings I thought I'd open a thread for the DSL Astros.  They start up today, 5/29.  Discuss the DSL Astros here.

Who, other than Ferreira, are the kids to watch down there?

I think those two pitchers they just signed, Montero and Feliz, are there.  I don't know about the shortstop Bautista.

Trying to keep track of Astros (reported) international signings since 2008. As always, if I've missed a name (or there are other pre-'08 big money signs in the DSL) please feel free to add.

Signings estimated at over $100,000:

Darwin Rivera, 2008 (3B) - $320,000: on DSL roster but only has 1 AB (stats LINK);
Yonathan Mejia, 2009 (2B) - $370,000: active (stats LINK);
Kirby Peña, 2009 (LHP) - $350,000: Not on DSL roster;
Enderson Franco, 2009 (RHP) - between $300,000 and $400,000: active with 2 starts (stats LINK);
Michael Feliz, 2010 (RHP) - $400,000: not on DSL roster;
Jose Montero, 2010 (RHP) - $350,000: active with 3 starts (stats LINK);
Jean Carlos Batista, 2010 (SS) - unknown: not on DSL roster; and
Kelvin Vizcaino, 2010 (OF) $250,000: active (stats LINK).

Signings estimated at under $100,000:

Alexander Martinez, 2009 (RHP): not on DSL roster; and
Luca Martone, 2009 (IN): not on DLS roster.

I missed his going on the DL. What's the story?

Per BA: LINK

Kenny Diaz, a 49th-round pick from Puerto Rico, is that rare draftee who begins his career in the Dominican Summer League.

17 year old 2B prospect Yonathan Mejia continues to put the hurt on DSL pitching. Was a HR short of a cycle yesterday, going 3-6, 2R, 2B, 3B, 3 RBI.  Box score.  He's batting .299 on the season, but needs to cut the strikeouts down a bit (29 over 134 PA).  Looking forward to watching this kid as he progresses. 

Season to date: 35 G, 134 AB, 17 R, 40 H, 9 2B, 3 3B, 2 HR, 19 RBI, 61 TB, 6 BB, 29 SO, 2 SB, 2 CS, .299 AVG, .336 OBP, .455 SLG, .791 OPS.  Mejia stats link

"There have been 67 suspensions this year under the minor league program."

Odds are the Astros would have at least one or two of those...

Whoops, just saw the news that they had a total of 4 players suspended... well, that is bad luck.

Also coming off suspension:

Quote
Dominican Summer League teams have now played more than 50 games, which means players who were suspended 50 games for testing positive for steroids before the season can start to play. Two of the more notable names are Astros righthander Michael Feliz, who signed for $400,000, and Padres Dominican third baseman Duanel Jones, a $900,000 signing. Feliz, a 16-year-old out of the Dominican Republic, made his debut on Monday and allowed two runs (one earned) in four innings, striking out four with no walks.

Gabriel Garcia also came off suspension and is on the Greeneville Roster.

It's hard to muster much animosity towards a 16 year-old kid for taking PEDs. Hopefully its a learning experience for him and he can move on.
