La Tortuga Back with Astros' Organization

Slowly and surely, Erick Abreu made his way back to the Houston farm system.  Abreu, affectionately known as La Tortuga in some quarters, is listed as a bullpen coach for the Astros Dominican League entry which begins play on Saturday.

Abreu,30, spent four seasons(2009-2012) pitching in the Astros' system.  His time with the Houston organization peaked at AAA; however, he pitched a large majority of his innings for the AA Corpus Christi Hooks.  He leads the Corpus Christi franchise in career wins(23), strikeouts(302), and appearances(127).
