    Hearing Gausman would take $2.5 million under slot if taken #1

    I'm not too worried about the money because Crane Made it known that the farm system is the number one priority.

    Nice. I wonder if the Astros are using that as leverage against their other choices.

    But with the new bonus pool system, it seems to be advantageous if you can save money on an early pick and use that on a later pick with a guy who kept getting passed over because he wanted more than his slot value. Its all about getting the most talent out of that 11.2 million we are allowed to spend on our first 10 rounds.

    It does provide a bit of a changeup. If true, I wonder how that affects the bonuses the next 5 guys receive. Or maybe it's a ploy.

    Appel drawing comparisons to Josh Johnson. Uh huh. Johnson isn't exactly the model of excellent health in the league.

    If they even remotely consider that as a reason to draft a player, I will not be very happy.

    this....

    i dont want appel and his windup that lets batters easily see the pitch hes throwing... also feel like he could be david carr..

    i would like buxton but i believe correa is better, IMO...

    I'm ok with Appel. Don't want Buxton.
