"Shortly after being hired, Tim Purura gathered the team's business and baseball staff and discussed the importance of team work....On that day, though, he offered a tribute to Dewey Robinson, the club's longtime roving minor league pitching instructor who was in the office. Purpura told the staff that Robinson's early work with Roy Oswalt, Brad Lidge, Wade Miller and others played a key role in helping the Astros get to Game 7 of the NLCS. ..."

Thanks for re-posting that.  I recalled his name from that very article last year.  If not for that article, I would have been asking "Dewey who?".  It just goes to show that maybe, just maybe, Purpura has a good idea about what he's doing. At least in my opinion.

Oh, and oddly enough this article was a good read as it was absent of Pinwheel's usual self-insertion into the story.

Yeah but what about Huey and Louie?

[MusicMan]

Damn, and here I thought he had finally defeated Truman.

The TZ has known about Dewey Robibson since the time we were introduced to his work by Michael Nash when he started to do his Minor Opinions column for the old BFT.  Robinson was the guy who penned the Astros pitching bible along with Vern Ruhle when they both worked in the minors for the Astros.  Ruhle got most of the credit, even garnered a major league gig because of it, but it was Robinson who tinkered with the manual until it was refined into the excellent instructional development tool used in the Astros organization to map out development plans for pitchers for a very long time now.

Two of the unsung heros for many years in the Astros organization were Dewey Robinson and Andres Reiner.  Reiner no longer works with the Astros, moving on with another organization this offseason to work in their front office.
