The MLB Draft is creeping closer, and the Astros have the opportunity to add an influx of talent into the farm system this year. They possess two of the top five picks due to the happenings of the Brady Aiken debacle last year, but we don’t need to discuss that.
Second Overall
Brendan Rodgers/SS/Lake Mary HS (FL)
I wanted Dansby Swanson with this pick, but the noise in the industry is that he might be the selection at number one for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Rodgers, however, has been the consensus number one prospect for months now, and I’m more than happy to take him at number two.
