CLEVELAND — The Astros have every player in the top-10 rounds signed after an impressive 2015 amateur draft. The medicals are done, and there’s been plenty of praise for the haul the Astros brought in — particularly with their first three picks.
That leaves a simple question: does this year’s draft make up for last year’s?
There was a record amount of signing-bonus money available to the Astros this year because of the second overall pick they received for Brady Aiken, the top overall pick in 2014 who went unsigned amidst controversy over the health of his elbow.
