We've had three number one picks this year--all of them, remarkably, from Houston, Texas.

Well, obviously that was a bogus story. 4 guys are off the board, and none is named Marl Appel. Keith Law seems to be suggesting that Appel is asking for big money. Perhaps a case like Buster Posey (he also went #5 in spite of being in most eyes the top prospect)?Â

Oof :( Well...it's the Astros. There are more than a few Stanford alumni Astros fans around here who will be disappointed.

Scott Boras got the contract he was looking for, I guess.
