Jimmy Paredes
Paredes came to Houston in the Lance Berkman trade and debuted for Houston in 2011, so he's no stranger to Astro fans. After hitting .286 as a rookie in 2011, he spent most of 2012 in AAA before a late season call-up in which he hit just .189 (14/74). After hitting just .120 (3/25) this spring, Paredes found himself back in AAA, but he's absolutely raked for the RedHawks this year. In 30 games he has 41 hits, has dramatically cut down on the strikeouts and increased his walks (131/24 in 2011, 122/28 in 2012, 19/14 in 2013), and he's hitting at a .366 clip. He's also got 15 extra base hits, stolen 7 bases and scored 20 runs. The big thing for him is going to be keeping the strikeouts down, but he's shown before that he can hit big league pitching. He can play second, third, right field and left field, and with Houston's struggles, my guess is that he gets every opportunity to prove himself.

Trevor Crowe
Once upon a time, way back in 2005, Crowe was a first round pick for the Cleveland Indians. He reached the Majors in 2009 and even played 122 games and hit .251 in 2010, but he appeared in just 15 games in 2011 following shoulder surgery, and spent all of 2012 in the minors before the Astros took a flyer on him this year. A versatile outfielder with great speed, Crowe is off to a solid start with Oklahoma City hitting .307 in 30 games with 21 runs, 17 walks and 11 stolen bases. He's never hit for a ton of power (he homered a career high 9 times in 2008), but he'll hit you some doubles and triples. Another switch hitter, like Paredes, Crowe gives the Astros even more versatility off the bench. Now 29, Crowe isn't exactly a prospect, but on this team, anyone who can get a job done deserves a spot. Might as well see what he can do.
