Weekly MiLB Discussion: Early Returns of 2014 Draft

Brooks

The 2014 Draft has now been in the system for a year and has been surrounded by controversy from the beginning for reasons I'd still rather not discuss. For that reason, it's been considered a weaker draft due to the fact that the Astros did not get their top pick or a high upside fifth rounder.


Despite that, the Astros actually landed two prospects from that draft on John Sickels Mid-Season Top 75 Prospects. Derek Fisher and A.J. Reed were comp round and 2nd round picks respectively but have done very well in the pros and several are taking notice.
