July 16:
New signee German Duran was assigned to Corpus Christi after spending some Get To Know You starts with the GCL Astros. He had an error last night.
Also worth noting the link takes you to Zachary Levine's impressions of Corpus last night. Interesting things to point out, including a warning not to expect huge homer numbers out of Castro at Corpus...
He went from one of the best homer parks in all of affiliated ball to a yard where the wind blows out to left off the water, and you'd have to hit a third-deck-worthy shot just to reach the warning track. There were several balls that looked really well hit that settled right in the glove of a normally positioned right fielder.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
