Houston Astros have options at No. 5 slot in MLB draft

We are now one day away from the 2015 MLB Draft and the Houston Astros have the second and fifth overall picks. This means that not only do they have the chance to add high-level talent immediately into their system but it also means that, unlike years past, it is unclear who that might be.

The Astros will not know who is available to them until the Arizona Diamondbacks select the first overall pick. While most believe that will be a shortstop, Dansby Swanson from Vanderbilt or high school prospect Brendan Rodgers out of Florida, there is some speculation that both may still be available when it is the Astros turn.
