This offseason, I’m running down all 975 players to appear on the field in a Houston Astros regular season game. We’re still in the fourth bracket of such players, those who collected between 101 and 500 plate transactions with the team. In today’s chapter, we’re looking at Astros who were replacement level while with the team and between 103 and 204 Astros PA/BF. We also reach the midpoint of the countdown.
495. George Throop is a six-foot-seven right-handed pitcher from Pasadena, CA. Born on November 24, 1950, he was a 16th-round selection of the Kansas City Royals in 1972 out of California State University-Long Beach.
