ESPN, on #1 pick

Jason Churchill has an (Insider-Only) post up on ESPN about the 1-1 pick in the June Draft.

Money quote:
(Mark Appel) struck out just three batters in this start, and despite a fast start in this department, has fanned less than a batter per inning this season. Has Appel's lack of answers to those questions opened the door for (Byron) Buxton with the Astros? It's still too early to tell, but one has to believe the new front office in Houston is considering multiple players, and will for the coming weeks.
