Tommy Shirley is just happy to be here

9th Round pick Tommy Shirley hasn't really thought about what happens next.

On signing:
"Right now I'm just so excited about the Astros and the chance to possibly play with them, I haven't really thought about it. I'm just enjoying the moment right now."

Shirley is a junior, and could return to Xavier for his senior season.

Shirley:
"I would love to pitch at PNC Park and it would be fun to play against the Pirates. I was always a Pirates fan growing up and that's probably going to be pretty neat to do that... in an Astros uniform, hopefully."
