Poor UCLA, they had Brady Aiken committed to them but his draft status rose all the way to #1 overall lmao. Good luck next time Bruins. Exciting times for Astros though.
Dodgers got Grant Holmes at 22, I know absolutely nothing about the guy but people are referring to him as the steal of the draft, so good for us.
Now watch Lakers fuck up their #7 draft pick by picking Aaron Gordon.

Houston HAS TO be a top team about 3-5 years from now. the talent they are stacking up in the minors is amazing and they are saving a shitload of money with a low ass payroll.
