Former Astro Tranzactionz

So...the Mets signed Tim Byrdak and the Rays signed 2010 Express member Jonah Bayliss, to a minor-league contract.

Daigle designated for assignment

Casey Daigle has been designated for assignment following today's game (0.1IP, 4H/3ER, 1BB) against the Pirates (which may or may not get County Clerked. I'm too depressed to do it, and the County Clerk is at a rally.) Who replaces him? Why, Gary Majewski, of course!

The same Gary Majewski who hasn't been in the Majors since 2008, and who has a 4.04 ERA/1.29 WHIP in 35.2IP (35H/16ER, 21K:11BB) for Round Rock this season.

Just want to point out that Jonah Bayliss has thrown 41.1IP at Round Rock, has allowed 40H/15ER, 41K:12BB, and has a 3.27 ERA/1.26 WHIP. Both Majewski and Bayliss are 30, righties, and weren't on the 40-man roster. Bayliss also has a delivery slower than molasses, so maybe the Astros just wanted to get games over with.

Eddie's Farm Employees of the Month: June

Another month has come and gone for Eddie's Farm. So who are the Employees of the Month?

Round Rock

Position Player: Drew Locke. Locke followed up a strong May with another strong month, earning the honor of the Eddie's Farm Employee of the Month. Locke was 32x101 (.317/.343/.525) with 14 extra-base hits.

Pitcher: His one brutal outing for the Astros notwithstanding, this goes to Josh Banks. He was 3-1 (7-2 since April), allowing 23H/8BB in 30IP for the Express in June, for a 1.50 ERA. Hitters managed a .219 line against him.

Honorable mention: Jonah Bayliss. In eight appearances (11IP) in June, Bayliss allowed 4H/1ER, 14K:0BB.

Corpus

Position Player: Jack Shuck. Hit .347/.426/.376 in 25 games in June with 13K:14BB.

Honorable Mention: German Duran. Hit .342/.398/.425, with 8K:8BB.

Pitcher: Jordan Lyles (though you could insert Doug Arguello in here, too). Allowed 29H/7ER in 30IP, with 33K:9BB, and was rewarded with a 1-2 record.

Lancaster

Position Player: Initially had a hard time giving it to a 27-year old in the California League, but Lee Cruz hit .400/.429/.650 in June, so that took care of that.

Pitcher: Wasn't even close. Dallas Keuchel was 3-0 with a 1.98 ERA in four starts, allowing 25H/6ER in 27.1IP, with 23K:6BB. Looking forward to seeing him in Corpus.

Lexington

Position Player: Our Boy Aaron Bray followed up an April in which his OPS was .440 with a May in which his OPS was .470. June, however, saw him post a .391/.451/.516 line, for a .966 OPS. J.D. Martinez posted a .994 OPS in June, but since Bray is Our Boy, and hit .391, he's our winner.

Pitcher: Zach Grimmett. In seven appearances (20IP), Grimmett allowed 12 hits and five walks for a 1.80 ERA.

We'll pick up with Tri-City, Greeneville, and the GCL Astros when they've had a chance to play more than 10 games.
