    Didn't realize there was also a college. Not surprising about Heath. He was a utility player with no position when he came to college. Plus most catchers drafted end up playing a different position in the majors.

    You aren't going to pay 7 figures for a 19rd pick but JJ is much better then that but with his commitment, Boras and money demands it made sense for teams to back off.

    I say Uncle D will pay up for this guy and it will be up to JJ to decide if he wants to play here or not.

    I totally agree with you. It doesn't seem like an unreasonable amount of money to sign someone who probably would have gone the first day if he looked signable. This is one pick I really hope the Astros get signed.

    Ben Heath sounds like a steal. Wonder why teams didn't take him higher.

    Yea, he and Jacoby Jones could be some real gems from this draft. I really like the run on pitchers we did in the earlier rounds too

    I am actually pretty darn excited about day 2, looks like we went for some signablity guys hoping to hit it big which means Uncle D is ready to start spending on the draft. The Stros had to know how important this draft was and I think it showed.

    Not even a comment about Jacoby jones from the texans yet? You guys are either slipping or are just more mature than I am.

    I think someone made a slight reference earlier to having another Jacoby Jones. How ironic would it be if the baseball JJ became an explosive player with the bat and on the base paths but who's one knock would be the inability to catch towering pop ups
