    That is usually what the Astros do with their top college picks, right? Pitchers may be the exception, since right-out-of-college they are on strict pitch count/IP limits.

    I am ok with that pick. High floor guy due to his defense and speed who also has a decent ceiling if he can cut down on the misses.

    I'm hoping they draft JJ Schwarz; pretty stacked potential TC lineup:

    CF Juan Ramirez
    2B Enmanuel Valdez
    1B Seth Beer
    3B Joe Perez
    C JJ Schwarz
    RF Carlos Machado
    SS Jeremy Pena
    LF Hector Martinez
    DH Jonathan Matute

    Not that he's a huge part of that lineup, but I'm pretty sure Benjamin got released.

    Oh, did Benjamin get released? I think Benjamin might’ve gotten released.

    I like it. Would have rather had Gage Canning but McKenna was a good value pick there.

    I hope so but I think if they get picked in the top 10 rounds they’ll go pro.
