Astros Players Upset Over Appel

The Astros promoted Mark Appel from Single A Lancaster to Double A Corpus Christi with a 9.72 ERA & Astros players aren’t happy about it. In this Jose de Jesus Ortiz Houston Chronicle story, we hear how upset players were when they found out Appel got promoted with a near 10 ERA while a couple pitchers who have 2 ERAs have not. This is part of a run of puzzling or bad moves by the Astros brass.
