And here's one for the Cougar fans... 16th round #483 Christopher Wallace - Catcher, Sr. University of Houston Anyone know anything about him? No, they did not draft Notorious B.I.G.
Top 3 picks expect to sign quickly http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl...(chron.com+-+Top+Stories)&utm_content=Twitter Seems the Astros have gone catcher heavy somewhat. Of course, just a quick knee jerk reaction but we'll have to wait and see how this all turns out.
I want to see if the Astros will be able to sign Wendell Magee's son Josh. He signed on to play football and baseball Southern Mississippi so it will be a tough signing. However, I like the fact the Astros are going after high upside athletes.
Stros drafted JACOBY JONES!!!... Boras guy if I am not mistaken and committed to LSU so it will be VERY tough but interesting still.
Will be interesting to see how many of these guys sign. They have drafted a ton of HS guys. Probably start seeing more college guys as signing a HS kid becomes less and less feasible.
The MLB writeup on him is very positive. Very good pick IMO if they can sign him. Compared him to Troy Tulowitzki, which obviously would be a huge steal if he signs, and lives up to that potential. Both are doubtful IMO, but its fun to hope.
@keithlaw: And strong college commitment. RT @SlanchReport: @keithlaw @jimcallisBA any idea why Jacoby Jones lasted so long? High bonus demands?
Saw him play at Lamar this year. I know he played catcher, but he is not a catcher. Everbody ran on him. He got one caught stealing, on the slow first baseman. I doubt he can play any position except 1B or maybe LF.
I did some googling and according to LSU fans, he wants a million or he's going to school. Why take him if there's no chance on signing him?
