Forrest Whitley was the lone player from the Astros Minor League system that made the list of prospects in the 2020 MLB Pipeline Top 100. Now may be the best time for Houston to take advantage of their star-studded lineup. Because once they start declining or leaving, the bank of talent to draw from might be a little thin.
The Astros were one of just four teams out of the 30 Major League teams that had one or fewer prospects on the list. The Boston Red Sox were the only other American League team with one prospect listed and the two National League teams were the Colorado Rockies and the Milwaukee Brewers, with the latter being the only team not to make the list at all.
