If Not Now, When? Remembering the 2014 Draft

MLB Draft Day is not an important day in the life of an American sports fan. Maybe it’s because fans like the idea the players being drafted making an impact within a year. Maybe it’s because they like having heard of the players being drafted.

For Astros fans, at least for this Astro fan, it’s been different since I was looking for a ray of hope around 2010, and discovered how much info was now available (my first foray into farm systems in the 1990s was 90% Baseball America-dependent), I stumbled upon this site and tons of in depth reports on Jio Mier, Ross Seaton, and Jay Austin.
