While the search for a potential Mike Fiers replacement continues, the Corpus Christi Hooks have two good pitching prospects that have struggled in Kent Emanuel and Trent Thornton. However, other pitchers outside of the top 30 prospects for the Astros have stepped up to potentially find their way to Houston in the future. One of these pitchers is Rogelio Armenteros, and he is the player spotlight this week.
The Stats
Rogelio Armenteros has been under the radar for the Astros since he was signed by the team in 2014. The Cuban-born player is in his third year and continues to show why he will be a good starting pitcher in the majors.
