In part four of the Astros top prospects, we will look at the top five prospects according to MLB Pipeline. Before we get into the prospects on this list, let’s discuss a statement made by Jeff Luhnow regarding Mark Appel and Carlos Correa, who have both played well for the Corpus Christi Hooks.
In an interview with MLB Network earlier in April, Luhnow said, “We’re not going to hesitate to bring them straight up from Double-A if the need arises.” This quote was from the article Luhnow: Astros won’t hesitate to call up Appel, Correa from Double-A by Michael Hurcomb.
