Jayne over at What the Heck, Bobby? has news of more minor league retirements and cuts. Steve Martin and Justin Shults retired, and David Flores, Ebert Rosario, Jimmy Van Ostrand, and Lance Pendleton were released.
I'm a bit surprised to see David Flores released given our lack of depth at third base and his successful season at Lancaster last year.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.

Here's some info on David Haerle
We were looking for more info on 39th Round pick RHP David Haerle. And we found some!
College of the Canyons head coach Chris Cota:
“What that is is David Haerle has a real good arm and he is still learning how to use it. He’s going to be a good one the Astros think and we think he’s going to be a good one, too.”
Cota thinks he's such a good one, in fact, that he wants Haerle to return next season.
-
In the same article, 46th Round pick Justin Shults had stopped following the draft:
“I was a little relieved once I got it. It’s good to get the recognition and the chance to play at next level. Let’s see how long it lasts.”
