    I'm going to give Luhnow a piece of my mind when we meet later this month.

    I wanted Appel

    I guarantee he has a better career than Appel.

    Buxton was the best athlete, Correa was the best bat. Color me happy for the Astros finally having a grasp on what the most important tool in the game is.

    YOU CAINT STEAL FUHST YESSIRRAH!!!

    How far will appel fall from the tree?

    I think he drops a couple more slots... overrated with an open windup rhat even college batters can spot coming out of his hand...

    Appel is a good player, but he is no Correa (potential wise). Great pick Astros. Avoiding the Jeter situation.

    Yeah probably.

    Awesome! I think it was the right choice.
    He seems to have star potential, plays a premium position, has less bust potential than Buxton but more upside than Appel. Even if he has to move to 3rd, it shouldn't be a problem since we have no 3B in our farm system.
    It's weird to have a Houston franchise draft who the fans wanted for a change.
    In Luhnow we trust!

    Oh and F Scott Boras. I hope with the new slotting scheme this teaches players what will happen to them if they try to reach beyond their grasp.

    I won't pretend I know anything about any of these guys but glad we didn't take a pitcher.

    If they hit on this guy he should be here for the next 15 years. And we will know for sure if the guy can play or not.

    A pitcher runs a chance of messing up his arm and never being the same. And seems your great pitchers these days are running into trouble before they even turn 30.
