Meads started at the lowest tier with the GCL Astros of the Gulf Coast League in 1984 at age 20 before being promoted to low A ball with the Auburn Astros of the South Atlantic League. In 1986 he rose through A and into AA with the Columbus Astros of the Southern League, going 1-1 with a 4.43 ERA in 16 games.[1]

Major leagues

Meads started the 1987 season with the Tucson Toros of the AAA Pacific Coast League. He went 1-0 with a 2.80 ERA in 10 appearances before being called up by Houston in April.[1] Meads made his debut on April 13, 1987, and got his first victory on April 23, striking out Ken Griffey, the only batter he faced.[2] He went 5-3 with a 5.55 ERA in 45 appearances out of the bullpen.[3]
