The Houston Astros selection of Xavier Neyens was met with universal praise from most fans. The high school infielder will need several years to develop into the type of player Astros fans are hoping to see, but with so many infielders already on Houston's roster, the organization can afford to wait for the 18-year-old to fully evolve into a complete player.
Neyens did, however, give Astros fans something to chuckle about on Sunday night following his selection. During his post-draft comments with the Houston media, Neyens revealed that he grew up as a fan of the Seattle Mariners.
