Forward momentum continues....

It's an insider story, so the only thing you can see is the Astros breakdown if you're not a subscriber.

1. Houston Astros

On the one hand, when you pick first overall every year, you should probably end up with a pretty good farm system, and the Astros' top five prospects are all first-round picks. On the other hand, the Astros have done everything they needed to do to restock what was a few years ago the worst system in the majors, like exceeding MLB's recommended signing bonuses for Lance McCullers Jr. and Rio Ruiz in 2012, or landing prospects like Jonathan Singleton, Domingo Santana and Asher Wojciechowski in trades

As a very casual MLB/Astros fan, I'm very excited about what this team will look like in a few years.

Yeah, I am hoping that the Stros kind of end up like the Tampa Bay Rays. Keep getting high picks and eventually start to be very good.

Remember: the stros teams of the 90s were full of farm talent.

Should be a fun few years here, after having to rebuild from ground up the last few.

Also excited about the likely AAA team's move to the Conroe-The Woodlands area. Really think having the AAA team in the same metro area will gin up interest given the "get to see the stars of tomorrow today"-kind of convenience that setup offers.
