44th Round pick Blake Ford signs

Stephen Goff says that 44th Round pick Blake Ford has signed with the Astros.

Ford:
"I was eyeing every pick the first two days of the Draft, but I wasn't able to do it today. I had committed to helping out at a Little League camp. When my phone started beeping with so many text messages from friends, family and teammates, I knew I had been drafted. I saw it was the Astros and I couldn't have been happier."

Goff also says that he just so happened to be in Houston for last night's Cardinals game, and signed at Minute Maid park.
