    John Manuel of Baseball America just said in his blog that Toronto at 11 would have probably selected Deshields so I guess the Astros were not far off with him.

    Sale would reportedly have gone for slot.

    Pretty sure this is Tal's "speed and defense" mantra.

    If the Astros sign DeShields they will have to go over slot for #8. The difference between slot for #8 and for #19 is only about $500,000.

    I wouldn't have drafted DD JR but he is still a fine selection and the organization needs EVERYTHING so I won't kill them besides DD JR wasn't a huge reach as multiple reports had him going at 11 to Toronto.

    At first I was weary of the Deshields pick but he could be pretty damn good. Hopefully Sale falls in our lap. PLEASE!

    Kind of glad Sale didn't go to the Jays. Heard a rumor that the Jays were bluffing to force the Astros to reach.

    All the Toronto report means is that another team was prepared to make the same reach Houston did.

    He wasn't making it to 19, so a number of teams where ready to choose him I just noted the Jays because they were the highest.

    jimcallisBA Only one signability pick in top 10 (Loux)


    jimcallisBA No, that was true love. @battlekow: DeShields wasn't signability?

    Lets hope he turns into Chase Utley and not Chris Burke for what we are going to pay for him.

    They must know something we don't...

    MJ4Sports Deshields is a GREAT athlete, even though I don't like taking a 2B this high. I think it will take at least $7 million to sign him
