The 26-year old outfielder is no where near a household name, but he has found a way to stand out in the Astros organization. He was picked in the second round by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2011 out of a Florida High school and he has dealt with injuries, struggles at the plate, and the death of his father. It’s a low-risk move for Houston and who knows he might pay off big for the Astros after producing in Spring Training.
