Speed vs. Power in 2010 draft

Zach Levine talked to Bobby Heck about what the Astros are thinking, drafting more speed than power.

Levine:
He told me that there was no broad organizational philosophy to draft for speed; they were drafting the best player available in each position, which is exactly what I expected him to say.

Heck:
"The value of speed is going to be a little more appreciated as we see the power backing up."
