For the start of my weekly report on the Corpus Christi Hooks, who are the Astros’ AA affiliate, I want to look at who the catalysts are in their red-hot 9-4 start to the season. I will also look at who has room to improve and make the team that much better. Because all these players are at the minor league level, I’ll also look at how their performance is either helping their case to make the majors or sending them towards a demotion to the High-A club.
There are some who believe that the Hooks have players, such as Mark Appel, Carlos Correa, and Colin Moran that should be sent straight up to the Astros sooner rather than later.
