Another year, another draft for the Houston. The Process continues. General Manager Jeff Luhnow will continue to construct a major league roster and a farm system that most teams would drool over.
The Astros selected six pitchers, three infielders, two catchers, and one outfielder through the first two days of the draft. Luhnow and the gang favored the polished products with nine college selections. Only three players came from the junior college (one) and high school ranks (two).
Now, the Astros have 30 more picks to make on the final day of the draft. The only difference between these picks in round No. 11 through 40, the draft pool doesn’t apply to these picks. Players from rounds 11-40 must sign under $100,000 or else the team will be penalized.
Basically, the picks from No. 11-40 are picks that are either flyers, senior signs, and small college projects.
