On Thursday night, MLB Pipeline unveiled its top 100 prospects list, arguably the most respected one around the Major Leagues. As usual, we got to see who the best youngsters are right before the season gets underway. The bad news is that the list doesn’t include a single ballplayer from the Houston Astros.
Is this a reason to be worried? It could be, especially if you look beyond the next two years. This clearly tells us that the Astros don’t have as much MiLB talent as the other 29 organizations. Just to give you an idea, the Mariners have six of their prospects, the Orioles have five, and the Royals have four.
