Baseball America's Mock Draft

Baseball America released their second mock draft this afternoon, and here's who they have the Astros taking:

1-2: John Manuel says the Astros really like Carson Fulmer, but projects the D'Backs to take him with the 1-1. In this mock draft, Manuel has the Astros taking Vanderbilt shortstop Dansby Swanson, who sounds like he would be more at home at dinner with Jay Gatsby.

1-5: While Vandy pitcher Walker Buehler (a character from William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying") is a sleeper pick here, Manuel has the Astros taking Preston Tucker's brother Kyle, an outfielder from Plant (FL) High School.
