We all know about the Astros' former penchant for signing free agents as opposed to focusing on the draft, but I got to wondering: what did the teams do with the picks the Astros gave up for signing their Type A Free Agents?
2003:
Astros sign Jeff Kent, Giants draft David Aardsma
2004:
Astros sign Andy Pettitte, Yankees draft Phil Hughes
2005:
Carlos Beltran signs with New York, Astros draft Eli Iorg (released, 2009)
2007:
Astros sign Carlos Lee, Rangers draft Blake Beavan (still in minors)
2008:
Cardinals sign Trever Miller, Astros draft Jordan Lyles (supplemental pick)
The draft is a total crapshoot, but it's still fun to look at. Especially while you wait for someone to bring you food on Christmas Day.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.

Transactions of note
A couple of things to note:
J.R. Towles was placed on bereavement leave, which led to Brian Esposito's assignment to Round Rock from Corpus, and Jordan Comadena's assignment to Corpus from Lancaster.
And there's an odd note for today:
Eli Iorg assigned to Round Rock Express from Tri-City ValleyCats.
This is on the heels of Saturday's note that Iorg was released. We'll see if he has been resigned, or what the heck happened.

Eli Iorg cut
Cap Tip to Zachary Levine to getting this:
2005 first-round pick Eli Iorg has been released by the Astros. He hit .209 in Round Rock, spent some time raking in Tri-City in a rehab assignment, and has been released.
So note to self, Astros: don't go on rehab assignments, you'll only get cut.

Eddie's Farm: July 15
Eddie's Farm goes 1-4 last night with Round Rock and Corpus off, but let's start with the AAA All-Star Game, and today we also debut a feature on the GCL Astros (because what else are you going to do? Work? It's never too early to start looking at the 2014 Astros...)
All-Star Game
The International League All-Stars, despite giving up two runs in the 9th, held on to beat the Pacific Coast League All-Stars 6-5 last night. Bud Norris got the start and threw 2IP, 0H/0ER, 2K:0BB. Unfortunately, Yorman Bazardo got the loss, giving up 3ER on 3H in 0.2IP. /sad face.
Lancaster
The JetHawks got ripped 6-2 at High Desert last night, managing six hits and two errors (Ronald Ramirez and Marcos Cabral). Jack Shuck got two of the JetHawks' six hits with a double and a triple and is now hitting .323. Pitching duties were split between Bryan Hallberg (4IP, 8H/7R(5ER), 3K:4BB) and Jose Duran (4IP, 1H/0ER, 3K)
Lexington
Delmarva beat Lexington yet again, this time in a 3-1 game. The Legends got four hits from Diaz, Pellegrini, Brown, and Simunic. David Duncan continued his resurgence with 6IP, 5H/2ER, 7K:1BB. After opening the season in Lancaster with an 0-9 record and 46ER in 48.2IP (8.51 ERA), Duncan has given up 14 ER in 31.1IP at Tri-City and Lexington.
Tri-City
Tri-City went off for 11 hits in a 10-4 win over State College. None of those hits were for extra-bases and the ValleyCats were just 5x18 with RISP, though it hardly matters when you score 10 runs on them. The rehabbing Eli Iorg was 3x5, Brandon Wikoff was 3x4, and Brian Kemp was 2x3 with a walk, and is now hitting .345. Wander Alvino threw 7IP, 4H/2ER, 4K:1BB while Justin Harper gave up 2ER in his 1IP. Mike Modica threw a scoreless 9th to lower his ERA to 0.93.
Greeneville
Despite getting eight hits, only one of those came with RISP (1x12) as Greeneville lost 9-2 to Johnson City. Jose Altuve and Jonathan Meyer both had two hits on the night. It was a rough night for the bullpen after Carlos Quevedo came out after 3.2IP, 5H/2ER, 4K:0BB (2HR). Travis Smink and Jeiler Castillo combined for 1.2IP, 7H/7ER, 3K:1BB, relying on Joan Belliard to get the last eight outs.
GCL Astros
The Fightin' Kissimmees scored two runs in the bottom of the 9th, but it wasn't enough as they fell to the GCL Nationals 10-9 yesterday. Luis Bryan was 3x5, German Duran was 2x5, C Ernesto Genoves was 2x5 with 3RBI (hitting .342), and CF Geber Suniaga was 2x5 with 2RBI of his own. Ricardo Batista went 3.1IP with 8H/4ER, but Rafael Pio was the hard-luck loser with 3.2IP, 0H/2R (0ER), 6K:1BB. Matter of fact, the GCL Astros committed five errors (Genoves, Bryan, Nash, Hinze, and Duran), meaning only four of the GCL Nats' 10 runs were earned.

Eddie's Farm: July 14
So Eddie's Farm goes 1-2 last night as Round Rock, Lancaster, and Greeneville were all off last night. Be sure to catch the Triple-A All-Star Game tonight at 10pm ET on ESPN.
Corpus
Corpus got three runs in the top of the 9th, but it wasn't enough as they fell 7-5 to NW Arkansas. Jhon Florentino was 3x4 with a HR and a 2B, while Collin DeLome and Jimmy Van Ostrand each contributed two hits (two doubles, in DeLome's case) and an RBI. Andy Van Hekken threw 5.1IP, 8H/5ER (7 total), 3K:2BB. Charlie Weatherby III and C-Lo combined for 2.2IP of 0H/0ER baseball.
Lexington
Delmarva scored four runs in the bottom of the 7th to defeat Lexington 7-3. Jay Austin was 3x5 with a double and 2RBI, while Andrew Simunic got two hits and the other RBI. Brad Dydalewicz threw 4IP, 4H/3ER, 4K:2BB for the loss, while Brian Wabick gave up 3ER in 2.2IP, with 4BB.
Tri-City
And Tri-City recorded the only win of the minor leaguers, with a 4-0 win over State College. Despite going 2x15 with RISP, the ValleyCats banged out 12 hits - 3 from Nick Stanley (including his third HR of the season), and two each from Eli Iorg, Rene Garcia, and Barry Butera. Dallas Keuchel extended his professional scoreless IP streak to 7IP, going 4IP with 4H/0ER, 5K:0BB. Not only has Keuchel not given up a run in his two outings of the season, he also has not walked a batter.
