The Daily Pilot has some reaction from 2-40 pick Andrew Thurman.
I'm completely excited and felt very blessed to be picked by [the Astros]. Playing at UCI was the best time of my life. I'm very thankful for not only the baseball aspects – for the coaches and players, some are my best friends – but also the great school. I enjoyed my time there...I'm looking forward to be able to play for them and to give them everything I have. I'm really looking forward to going out and playing.
Yeah, given that he's talking about his college in past tense? This kid's gonna sign.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
