MLB has announced that this year’s draft will be held virtually. As for the Houston Astros, this will place James Click in a prominent role.
Houston Astros‘ faithful — after careful consideration and extensive deliberations that have gone on, Major League Baseball will hold an Amateur Draft but it will certainly be on an extremely smaller scale than what they’ve been used to in the past.
Instead of over the course of three days, the draft has been cut to two days and will include just five rounds rather than the 40 that are normally a part of the event that occurs in the annual early summer event.
