So we have seen a number of projections from a number of different people for who the Astros will take in the 1st round of tomorrow's amateur draft. Here's a run-down:
Baltimore Sun: OF Tim Wheeler
Baseball America: OF Everett Williams
Keith Law: OF Randal Grichuk
Jonathan Mayo: OF Jared Mitchell
A different Keith Law mock draft: LHP Chad James
Minorleagueball.com: OF Donovan Tate
So no consensus player, but it looks like outfielders for the Astros in the 1st round. Remember, we're talking about players we'll see no earlier than 2012 (probably, anyway). Which just happens to be the last year of Carlos Lee's contract.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
