Multiple sources reported today that 5th overall draftee Kyle Tucker signed a contract to join the Astros organization. Tucker, the team's second pick in the first round, was considered by most to be one of the best high school bats in the draft this year. Many draft boards had him listed as one of the top-10 overall prospects. In the world of hyperbole, Peter Gammons on draft night compared his swing to Ted Williams...so looks like he has some big shoes to fill.
