This year at Astros County we going to report on the Minor League affiliates in a slightly different way. Instead of regular daily recaps, we have agreed to adopt an affiliate each, and review how they have done at regular intervals over the season. I have been assigned the Astros' Hi-A team affiliate, the Lancaster JetHawks. After all, it is the closest affiliate to my home - just a 12 hour flight, followed by a two hour drive, and I am there!! I should pop across for a game or two!
Lancaster has been the Astros' affiliate since 2009, and they have been blessed with some strong teams.
