I'd like to thank all our writers for putting in the hard work to get through these and to do such an amazing job on them.

If you're wondering about the new draft rules, check out our Draft Primer from a few weeks back. It's got some good stuff about all the changes in the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement in the draft process. Here are some of the highlights, followed by the complete first round draft order (including compensatory picks).

Where do the Astros pick?

1-1, obviously, and then Houston picks at No. 41 overall (No. 10 in supplemental round), No. 61 in the second round, No. 96 in the third and then No. 129 in the fourth. After that, add 30 to the number and you've got the overall selection Houston's got in the new round.

Houston received the 41st pick for losing Type B free agent Clint Barmes to the Pirates.

Houston's bonus pool breaks down like this:

For 11 picks, Houston can spend $11,177,700.

That's $7,200,000 in the 1-1 spot

$1,258,700 in the No. 41 spot

$844,100 at No. 61

$495,200 at No. 96
