2015 Astros Draft Pick Tracker

Jeff Bagwell was only 5'10 but listed at 6 ft tall...That work out pretty well for Los Astros...

 

Also, Joe Morgan was 5' 7", or is that the second baseman you were talking about?

 

Word from Bregman's ugly GF is that he has quick hands, elite even.

 

He has the hands of a surgeon.

 

For baseball position players, ideal height is around 5'10" to 6'3"....

For pitchers, it seems that ideal height is more like 6'2" to 6'5"...

So Bregmann at 6'0" playing SS is a good height. I know Clutchfans.net is primarily for Basketball, but height is not as much the requirement in baseball.

 

This makes me feel a little better. Although his GF is ugly, at least he can satisfy her. Gives me hope he can continue to build confidence and date a model someday and become a real ballplayer.

 

Who said signing Daz would be difficult?

 

Every team outside the top 5.

 

Do you not understand why things went down like the did?

 

I raise my hand. I thought Daz, even though speculation was pretty good he'd sign, could have squeezed the Astros for every penney he could have mustered.

I am relieved he did sign. And now this draft is looking pretty darn good. Hopefully we get a couple of more signings.

 

ummm, look. I just watched a highlight and saw how small he is. You can use all the numbers and examples you want, but my eyes from this highlight and 2 others tell me we made the wrong pick.

I guess I can

 

Daz had a $4MM price tag, which would be over-slot for any pick past #5. See post you quoted. Astros took under-slot guys at 2 & 5, and rounds 2 thru 10 to secure the $4MM to sign Daz.

I'm not sure what your question means. Had teams with picks 6 thru 36 not thought Daz would be a difficult sign, he would have been picked somewhere in there.

 

I am guessing that Patman87's question was rhetorical or jabbing at posters who may have said signing Cameron would be difficult.

 

Although I didn't see any pics of a girlfriend/slam piece on twitter, Bregman does have an attractive sister. I'd keep her at shortstop if you know what I mean.

Saved $225,700 on Eshelman. So basically get all the overslot Ferrell money back.

 

We will have about $1.1MM to throw at one of Sandoval or Sands (assuming Baker is impossible).

 

Luhnow will play them against each other. I think it's a very high probability that we get one of them.

 

I dont know **** about either one...wish I had one of them to root for.
