Should have caught this from last week, but there were some cuts made:
RHP Rafael Pio, LHP Rafael Luna, LHP German Perez, C Max Sapp, OF Mitch Einertson, OF Carlos Reyes, and OF Nestor Santana.
Of course the big name that jumps out is that of Mitch Einertson, who was suspended last year for using a "drug of abuse."
We also named Rafael Pio the GCL Pitcher of the Year.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.

GCL Astros - Rafael Pio
We start in on the relievers for the GCL Astros - and first up is the reliever with the highest workload (and 2nd highest IP on the team, behind Juan Minaya) - Rafael Pio.
Rafael Pio
How did he get here?: Signed contract prior to 2006 season
Stats: 6'3", 210 lbs, Throws: Right
Age as of April 1, 2010: 22
Season line: 1-4, 43.1IP, 3.12 ERA/0.99 WHIP, 41K:10BB, .205 BAA, 1HR
Splits:
vs. LHB (10.2IP): 2.53 ERA/1.26 WHIP, 7K:3BB, .238 BAA, 1HR
vs. RHB (32.2IP): 3.31 ERA/0.92 WHIP, 34K:7BB, .193 BAA
Home (19.2IP): 4.12 ERA/1.17 WHIP, 18K:6BB, .227 BAA
Away (23.2IP): 2.28 ERA/0.85 WHIP, 23K:4BB, .186 BAA
Bases Empty (24.2IP): 0.89 WHIP, 21K:5BB, .183 BAA
Runners on (18.2IP): 1.12 WHIP, 20K:5BB, .235 BAA
w/RISP (14.2IP): 1.09 WHIP, 16K:5BB, .212 BAA
June (2 games, 6.2IP): 2.70 ERA/0.60 WHIP, 4K:2BB
July (9 games, 20.2IP): 2.61 ERA/1.02 WHIP, 24K:7BB
August (6 games, 16IP): 3.94 ERA/1.13 WHIP, 13K:1BB
K/9 Rate: 8.5
BB/9 Rate: 2.1
Groundout/Flyout Rate: 1.32
K:BB Ratio: 4.10
This is also Pio's fourth season in the Astros' organization, and his first in the States, but this was a breakout year for him. Coming off a 2008 DSL season in which he threw 49 innings with a 4.96 ERA/1.39 WHIP, Pio dropped his hits/9 (7.7 to 6.9), his walks/9 (4.8 to 2.1), and increased his K/9 (6.4 to 8.5). His command was much better, throwing just two wild pitches - compared to eight in 2008. He'll be 22 on Opening Day 2010, so he'll hopefully be in Greeneville, or even Tri-City.

Astros County's Employees of the Year: GCL Branch
As the Gulf Coast League drew to a close this week, it's time for Astros County to hand out some hardware of its own.
Position Player of the Year
Free-swinging shortstop Luis Bryan gets the nod here. Among players with more than 100ABs, Bryan led the team with a .340/.345/.491 line. Of course, it's troubling that a player can not draw a walk in 106 ABs (20:0 K:BB ratio - Inf...), but...whatever.
Honorable Mention
Second baseman Enrique Hernandez. You could make the case that these two should be flip-flopped, and you may be right. Hernandez racked up 207 ABs and a .295/.336/.396 line (28K:10BB), and led the team in doubles, triples, and RBI. Problem is, he needed about 60 ABs more than anyone else on the team to do it, and he committed a team-high 16 errors. But never mind that.
Pitcher of the Year
Rafael Pio. In 17 games, went 1-4, but with a 3.12 ERA/0.99 WHIP. Struck out 41 batters, only walking 10 in 43.1IP (2nd highest on the team).
Honorable Mention
Mike Schurz. In 15 games, got a team-high six saves, a 2.25 ERA/1.00 WHIP. 22K:6BB.
Tough Luck Player of the Year
The Netherlands' own, shortstop Jan Baldee. In 18 games for the GCL Astros, went 1x41, but drew two walks (hey, that's two more than Bryan), for a final season line of .024/.070/.024.
