We kick off the final week of farm previews with the AL West champion Houston Astros! RHP Hunter Brown has big shoes to fill, but his fastball is just as big and possibly up to the task. There's a pair of top prospects in outfielders Drew Gilbert and Jacob Melton, but our breakout pick Justin Dirden might be right behind them. The arms in this system are interesting, with Spencer Arrighetti and Miguel Ullola featuring that flat-plane FB that this system is known for and Forrest Whitley, former top pitching prospect, probably on his last chance to make it. We give our "Your Power Tool is Only as Good as Your Hit Tool" Superlative to C Yainer Diaz, who may not play catcher in the bigs due to defensive issues.
