The Astros select 6'4" 200lb RHP Michael Ness, out of Duke University.
Ness was drafted by the Giants in the 47th Round by the Giants in 2009, but - obviously - did not sign.
Ness was 1-3 in 16 appearances (eight starts) for Duke in 2010, with a 6.24 ERA. He threw 49IP, allowing 73H/34ER, with 28K:16BB.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
