According to my best count, the Astros will have 39 players eligible to be free agents this off-season. A player is eligible if they have six seasons of minor league service with their original team of if they have ever been released.
Five of note:
Doug Arguello, LHP. Arguello had a break out year with Salem with a 3.30 ERA in 142 IP.
Josh Muecke, LHP. Muecke was a PCL all-star after a strong first half. He struggled down the stretch finishing with a 4.89 ERA in 29 starts.
Ray Sadler, OF. Sadler split time between Corpus and Round Rock hitting a total of 25 home runs a driving in 78 runs in 452 at bats.
Polin Trinidad, LHP. Trinidad 28 starts and pitched 171 innings. His combined ERA was in the mid 3s.
Andy Van Hekken, LHP. Van Hekken made 11 starts for Corpus after being signed mid-season. He pitched 68 innings and had a 3.19 ERA.
