I can not express how much I love this tweet from Gammons: Peter Gammons@pgammo AL Scouting Director:"Houston took its draft position and killed it like noone else. Correa, McCullers, Ruiz...they changed the franchise."
Dreaming of the day that our modern day murderers' row of DeShields, Correa, Springer, Ruiz, and Singleton terrorizes the Rangers' staff en route to a division crown.
Only problem is, Rangers have Nick Williams and Profar that are killing it. Superstar type prospects its looking like. Still waiting for one of the Astros to bring the same kind of hype. Getting close with a few...
Now this is what I am talking about! Let's hope that this one AL scout is right! Either way, it's at least encouraging to hear.

Incredible draft. All I can say.
