Would someone mind giving a brief history of Tucker?
Drafted 5th overall on 2015. It was the same draft we picked Bregman & Dax Cameron.
Little brother for former Astros LF/DH Preston at the time.
Moved through the minors at an accelerated rate. Double A at 20. Big league campus at 21 (destroyed it). Started in Triple A at 21 then got the call to the bigs. He had a rough start and wasn't given consistent PT since we were still in the middle of a race with the As.
We signed Brantley in the offseason which made the outfield too crowded for a 22 year old prospect.
He's gotten off to a slow start in triple A this year.
