Three notable Mock Drafts have come out today, so let's see what they think the Astros will do three weeks from today.
Keith Law:
Insider-only, so we won't pull anything other than the mention that "Industry Sources" believe the Astros will go with Gray as it may take less to sign him than Appel. He also says to keep a line on UNC 3B Colin Moran.
John Sickels:
Mark Appel - Gray seems to have little more momentum at this point, but I'll buck
consensus slightly and slot Appel here on the theory that he makes a
late charge and/or Gray slumps just a hair.
MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo:
Jonathan Gray - Gray has separated himself this year, along with Mark Appel, whom the Astros didn't take a year ago.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
