Brian McTaggart tweeted this morning that the Astros have made some minor-league roster cuts. Among them:
Zack Grimmett, John Hinson, Jeremiah Meiners, and Danny Meszaros.
Grimmett was drafted in the 28th Round of the 2008 draft out of Beggs High School in Oklahoma. He posted an ERA under 5.00 just once - in Lancaster in 2010, and spent 2011 and 2012 at Lancaster, where he went 9-18 with a 7.39 ERA/1.73 WHIP.
Hinson was the Astros' 2011 13th Round pick out of Clemson. He reported to Tri-City, and hit .284/.348/.389 in 43 games, but was limited to just 15 games for Lexington in 2012 due to hamstring injuries (though he hit .339/.350/.508.)
Jeremiah Meiners was drafted in the 40th Round of the 2010 draft out of Francis Marion University. Appearing in 58 games, all in relief, Meiners had a composite 3.51 ERA, but aside from two appearances for Lancaster in 2011 never progressed above Tri-City in three seasons.
Danny Meszaros is likely the most recognizable name on this list. He was drafted in the 48th Round in 2008 out of the College of Charleston. He was suspended in 2010 for using a banned substance, and didn't pitch in 2012.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.

13th Round pick John Hinson got more than 13th Round money
Although financial terms weren't disclosed, John Hinson's dad said the deal was:
“A lot better deal than 13th-round.”
Hinson:
“Whenever I talked to the Astros and we met in Greenville, it actually ended up being not that hard of a decision to make. I love Clemson. I loved playing there. I love that program. What it means to me is something great. Whenever I looked at it, coming down and playing for the Astros was my best option. It was pretty clear. I'm just excited to be able to be able to pursue my dreams.”

Hinson:
“Whenever I talked to the Astros and we met in Greenville, it actually ended up being not that hard of a decision to make. I love Clemson. I loved playing there. I love that program. What it means to me is something great. Whenever I looked at it, coming down and playing for the Astros was my best option. It was pretty clear. I'm just excited to be able to be able to pursue my dreams.”

John Hinson is off to Tri-City
But that might not be it. According to John Hinson's dad the Astros will send 13th Round pick Hinson to Tri-City, and then on to Lancaster.
J.D. Hinson:
“He’s going to stay down (In Kissimmee) five or six days, then they’re going to fly him to Albany, N.Y., to play in the New York-Penn League. I was thinking it’d be pretty cool; he could be in Lexington and I could see him play in the Sally League. That’s not their plans. Their plans are to send him to High-A in (Lancaster) California. If he can hit, which that’s his strength, they say there’s a chance he could be at Double-A by the end of next year.”

With their 13th Round pick...
...The Astros select 6'1" 180lb junior 2B out of Clemson, 22-year old John Hinson.
Hinson, out of Asheville, NC, was Clemson's team co-captain in 2011 and went into 2011 as the team's starting 3B. He was drafted in the 13th Round in 2010 by the Phillies, but clearly chose to go back to Clemson, and got drafted in the exact same round by the Astros.
In 2011, Hinson started 60 games for the Tigers, hitting .331/.338/.514, with 24 XBH/41RBI, and 34K:24BB, to go along with 21 errors.
CollegeBaseball360 listed Hinson as a College 3B to Watch in 2011, saying:
Hinson is a guy who had question marks coming into the 2010 season. He played a little as a freshman in 2008, batting .264 with one home run and 11 RBIs. He missed all of 2009 with a back injury, so just what he would bring to the table in ’10 was a great unknown. Hinson played in all but two of Clemson’s 69 games last year though, batting .351 with 17 HR and 75 RBIs. All of those numbers were the second-best on his team for the College World Series participants. He also led Clemson with 25 stolen bases, while sporting a 1.008 OPS.
According to Hinson's dad, 20 teams showed interest in his son. Hinson, Sr.:
“I think the bargaining power has a big thing to do with getting drafted in professional baseball. If you're a senior, they can say, ‘Well, we'll give you $1,000. You can play or go home.' You know, the bargaining power does have a big part in this.”
In 2010, he was a first-team All-ACC player by SEBaseball.com, and hit .351 with 17HR, 75RBI, and a team-leading 25 steals in 56 games.
