Behind the curtain: the Astros’ front office’s fearsome reputation, and some prospect notes from Fangraphs

Thursday morning, the esteemed crew of Eric Longenhagen and Kiley McDaniel of Fangraphs.com posted their list of the Top 39 Prospects in the Houston Astros’ farm system.

As expected, the article is a good read, with far more description and insight into deeper-system prospects than can be found anywhere but Astros-centric websites like TCB and www.astrosfuture.com. McDaniel himself has worked with a Major League scouting department and knows the ins-and-outs of what at least one club looks for in prospects, and both gentlemen have uncountable industry sources from which to draw their conclusions.
