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 New York - Penn League. In 1986 he rose through A and into AA with the Columbus Astros of the Southern League, registering a 1-1 win-loss record with a 4.43 earned run average (ERA) in 16 games.[2] Major leaguesMeads 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.[2] 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.[3] He went 5-3 with a 5.55 ERA in 45 appearances out of the bullpen.[4] Meads started the 1988 season back with Tucson, but was called up again later in the season and proceeded to go 3-1 with a 3.18 ERA in 22 games pitched.
