    Trea Turner is a guy to watch. He's NC State's SS. I saw him play vs. Rice in the super regional round, and was very impressed. Blazing fast and is a great hitter. Great defense, too. I'm not surprised to see him as high as #2 on this list. Although with Correa already in the organization, I can't imagine us drafting a SS 1.1

    I'm also a fan of Turner, great talent.

    Correa 3B
    Turner SS
    Fontana/DDJ 2B would look very promising

    Yea he is good. Damn the top 50 list is impressive. Having 3 top40 picks Astrosarin good shape. Plus a record of about 13.6 million dollars to spend.

    The only good thing about the team being so bad is the hope that the future plays out to plan and Luhnow can transform the franchise back to contenders.

    Here's to the future!

    I hope they just take whoever they believe is the best player. Having two stud shortstops is a nice problem to have.

    If Astros go pitcher with first pick they go hitter with the second first rd pick.

    That is really cool but we will be VERY lucky if 4-5 of those 14 panout as average/above average players.

    We can't, otherwise Buck Turgidson will be angry at us.

    That should have been the Astros' slogan for the past 5 years.
