No idea if he's any good, but not many high school ballplayers built like this.

Nehomar Ochoa | Five Tool

 

Venezuelan born, he wants a path to the mlb. He’s probably 23 or 24

The Astros selected catcher Garret Guillemette (Texas) with the 464th pick (15th round). The junior slashed .298/.401/.541 with 11 home runs and 18 doubles in his lone season with the Longhorns. He previously played at USC.

remember that stretch where we signed like 8% of our top 10-15 round picks?  i think that number has ticked up a bit over the past 10 years.

So we need one guy to get on and Tucker can walk the AS game off and make the Seattle/mlb bitches cry more

Astros' 11th-round pick Nehomar Ochoa Jr., 17, was born in Venezuela, grew up in Galena Park & overcame the odds the whole time. “The total package jumps off the page."https://t.co/Ld2BludjRL

As a senior, he batted .602 with a .685 on-base percentage, 11 home runs, 27 steals and 50 RBIs.

I was hoping Dusty Baker would pinch hit for Julio after Tucker walked and really piss off the Seattle fans (not sure if there were any bench players left though)

Jesus, Dusty can't even win with a team of All Stars.

He's handicapped with Rangers, so

Great story of a young man overcoming the difficult odds of being only 6'4" 215 pounds with a mid-90s rocket arm. Brings tears to your eyes.

does make you wonder how his draft profile would have been affected if he was one of the Perfect Game gemstones.

F the M’s and their fans ….

 

It’s about being the baddest on the block, not what the bowel-nosed gullibles say.

He played 39 PG events. I'm sure growing up in a new country was difficult, but that story is seriously overselling the underdog angle. When you have his kind of talent you get scholarshipped into elite programs so they can sell to bigger numbers of parents of lesser talented kids. 

He doesn't have a PG grade or full evaluation of their scouts because he wasn't in any of their showcases. I'm not informed enough to know why he wasn't--either because of circumstance/background or ability--but the greatest exposure to scouts is at those showcases.

On his weekly appearance on @SportsTalk790, Astros general manager Dana Brown said his number one priority at the trade deadline is now a starting pitcher.

Needs to be a good one.  Like top of the rotation good.

And if they can't strike a deal for one, figure out what's wrong with Javier and fix it. 

Hopefully he is not hiding an injury.

#12941

Rumors from the IT Astros thread is Giolito. He's a FA after this season, so Gilbert, Melton, or Clifford shouldn't be involved. 

Barber, Loperfido, Dezenzo, Arrighetti - probably our best bullets.

 

#12942

I’ll take more pitching but how can that be the number one priority when it’s our offense not producing as the number one reason we aren’t in first right now? We can never have too much pitching so I’m down for that but we need bats.

#12943

Because the offense won't matter if we don't have two starters who are pitching really well.  Frambler and Javier carried the team in the postseason last year.  Frambler is still pretty good, but Javier isn't even close to the same level.  Yordan and Altuve coming back will also go along way in helping the offense.  So will the end of stupid lineups if things go like last year.

Exactly this. The expectation that Javier and Brown would excel this year has not been met and unless they turn it around quickly, starting pitching becomes the priority at the trade deadline.

it’ll be interesting to see which ‘bats’ are traded at the deadline.

Start with Barber like the other 3 way too much.

Dude's going through a divorce.  He'll either pitch this second half with his hair on fire or be in a pit of despair.
