Astros Double-A Report: Corpus Christi Hooks (June 30-July 5)
The Corpus Christi Hooks lost another good hitter on July 1 when Tyler White, DH/3B, was promoted to Triple-A Fresno. Star Hooks pitcher Chris Devenski was the starting pitcher in the Texas League All-Star game on June 30, throwing two perfect innings. Seven Hooks players took part in the League showcase held at Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, Texas.
The Hooks went 2-2 this week (through July 5) and yet again another prospect moved up. It is obviously a testament to the rest of the guys on this team and Manager Rodney Linares that they continue to win while steadily bleeding talent to the Grizzlies and the Astros.
