Where are they now?

Maybe when I have more time, I'll be more detailed, but I thought it'd be interesting to peek at the Astros' last six drafts and see what remains:

2000: Chad Qualls, Eric Bruntlett, Todd Self are the notable names. Anthony Pluta, Tommy Whiteman and Monte Mansfield are some guys who are still churning in the Astros' minor-league system.

2001: Chris Burke is the only current big-league Astro from this group. Kirk Saarloos, Lance Cormier and DJ Houlton are pitching for other big-league teams this season. Other names still floating about are Mike Rodriguez, Charlton Jimerson, Phillip Barzilla, Brooks Conrad and Matt Albers.

2002: I do not recognize any big leaguers from this bunch. Mitch Talbot and Chance Douglass are the only names that stand out.

2003
: Lots of solid prospects remain from this bunch: Jason Hirsh, Josh Anderson, Josh Muecke, Jimmy Barthmaier, Jamie Merchant, Edwin Mayonset and Marc Saccomanno are some familiar names.

2004: I think that High A is the highest that anyone from this class has made it as of yet: Hunter Pence, Louis Santangelo, Mitch Einertson, Ben Zobrist, Troy PattonJonny Ash, Chad Reineke, Beau Torbert, Jeremy Wigdahl and Patrick Sellers.
