In the 2014 MLB Draft, the Houston Astros contemplated taking Colin Moran with the first overall pick. Instead, they took the safe route with Mark Appel instead of going with Kris Bryant.

With such a young and loaded roster, there are not too many open roster spots this Spring. You have many young players trying to make the final cut, including A.J. Reed, Tyler White, and Moran.
