HOUSTON – Third baseman Alex Bregman said he couldn’t be happier being with the Houston Astros, the team that drafted him second overall out of LSU in 2015 and the club he helped to win a World Series last October.
But he didn’t deny being upset that the Diamondbacks didn’t select him with the first overall pick that year. They instead went with Vanderbilt shortstop Dansby Swanson.
“I was super happy to come to a good organization like the Astros, an organization that was up-and-coming,” Bregman said. “But, yeah, I was pissed. I wanted to be the Number 1 overall pick.
