personally I would rather have the Astros draft Mark Appel or Zunino. I'm not big on taking high school players with the 1st pick, anybody remember Tim Beckam or Matt Bush? 2 out of the last 3 1st overall picks that were drafted out of High School haven't even played 1 game in the Majors. Bush was drafted in 04 and just made it to AA last year and has had numerous legal troubles. Beckam was drafted in 08 and in 37 games in AAA he is hitting all of .238 and is averaging more than 1k per game.

High School players are just too risky for the Astros to draft this early. The Astros can not afford to miss on thier first round pics like the Yankees or Red Sox can.
