ROUND ROCK, Texas. -- Alex Bregman finished his four-day stay at Dell Diamond on Thursday and was met with a steady stream of reporters asking him if he was ready to stay in Texas a little longer. Bregman, the Astros' top prospect who's tearing it up for Triple-A Fresno, appears to be big league ready and is simply waiting on the call to Houston.
Until that happens, Bregman is saying all the right things. He says he's focused on helping the Grizzlies win, and determined to get better. The Astros have thrown him an extra challenge by putting him at third base and left field in recent days, but he's handled both well.
