Houston Astros Farmhands in the Midwest League

Player Roster

Players who played for the Houston Astros as members of Midwest League teams. The list begins with the 1973 season and runs through 2002, which fully covers the Astros' involvement with the Midwest League. This list includes all players I can identify, and some of the coaching staff. I plan to add the missing coaches, and other non-playing staff, at a later date.

Players who were assigned to the MWL by the Astros in more than one season are listed for each season.

402 different players are listed on this page (74 of whom played in the majors, though not necessarily for the Astros), as is 1 non-playing personnel; many are listed more than once.

This page will, in time, list everyone who represented the Astros in the Midwest League. While the information here is intended to be both complete and accurate, it's likely that there are omissions and the scale of the project guarantees errors; there's a lot of data here, from a variety of sources, all of which was originally in another format.

I will correct errors, or fill in missing birthdates and uniform numbers as I learn of them. Feel free to help; just drop me a line. Thanks.

There's more information about the MWL Roster project on my blog, A Dabbler's Journal.
