For this week’s Corpus Christi Hooks report, I don’t have my usual Who’s Hot, Who’s Not piece for the Astros AA affiliate. What I do have, however, is a question. Why is Corpus Christi such a hotbed for talent in the Astros organization? It seems to me like the Astros love to put their top prospects there and then promote them straight to Houston instead of stopping through AAA Fresno.
With the exception of Chad Qualls (don’t worry, Hooks fans, that stint was only temporary), Corpus Christi has a talent overload right now.
