So maybe you haven't really been paying attention to the minors this year because Astros County is of course the only Astros blog you ever read (which would be silly) and we haven't really been covering the minors as closely as we have in the past because! hope! success! job changes! less time!
Whatever the reason, maybe you saw Astros Twitter get excited today because of the promotion of one Francis Martes, from Lancaster to Corpus. And maybe you didn't know about this Francis Martes. So allow us to do a little backtracking and fill you in a little on Francis Martes.
