Jim Callis released a piece on MLB.com yesterday that is well worth a read in full. In it, he breaks down the draft pick allotments for every team in Major League Baseball, and once again the Astros have a reasonably good sized chunk of the pie thanks to the penalties received as a result of Chris Correa’s hacking of the Astros Ground Control Database while employed in a senior position with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Astros are slated to have the 11th most money available in the MLB this year at $9,039,600.00 and will make five selections in the first 100 picks.
