Draft Coverage Day 2

The Astros day one draft got high marks, with three of Baseball America's top 8 draftees. They are now underway for day 2.

3-79 - Riley Ferrell

Ferrell is a reliever, and will pretty much stay a reliever. He served as the closer for TCU, and had a solid year, with 14 saves and 45 strikeouts in 28.2 innings. He is a junior, and could be a fast mover in the Astros system, potentially even in late September, or, dare to dream, the playoffs this year. He has the stuff to be a late inning/high leverage reliever in the future.
