Amador hit .346/.436/.742 with 41 home runs and 117 RBI over 103 games with Diablos Rojos del Mexico of the Mexican League last season.
ANALYSIS
Amador, who was a dark-horse for the Astros' Opening Day first base job in 2014, posted a ridiculous 1.177 OPS against Mexican League pitching last year, but there haven't been any reports that he'll return to the states in 2016.

2014 Astros Team Preview: A Springer in Their Step
February 9, 2014
There have some dismal seasons in Houston for the Astros. After years of losing, a stockpile of minor league talent finally is beginning to emerge sending the organization toward a more positive outlook down the road.
2014 Fantasy Outlook
Amador, 27, was signed midseason by the Astros from Mexican League club Diablos Rojos del Mexico. The right-handed hitting first baseman is a physically imposing presence at 6-foot-4 and 300-plus pounds, and the guy can flat-out rake. He hit .361/.409/.655 with 36 home runs and 123 RBI over 114 games between the Mexican League and Triple-A Oklahoma City (10 games). Amador will likely return to Oklahoma City to begin 2014, but he could quickly become a factor in Houston if his hot-hitting ways continue in the United States.
