And as day 2 of the draft will begin shortly, let's take a look at day 1 through my eyes.
"With the first overall pick of the 2012 MLB Draft, the Houston Astros select Carlos Correa" My jaw dropped. From what I had heard, it was between Appel and Buxton. Appel, the Houston Native, should have been the sure choice. If not, Buxton and Zunino were good picks. However, Carlos Correa shocks the world as he is picked first. I do not know much about him, but maybe he will impress.
At compensation pick 41, the Astros selected Lance McCullers. I'm stoked about this pick. I'm surprised McCullers dropped that far, he is a solid, young pitcher with great potential.

Transactions
Well, I've been away for a couple days, things have been hectic lately. Anyway, here are the transactions from the last two days.
- Travis Buck has been placed on the 15 day DL with Achilles Tendonitis. Because of this, Astros have recalled Fernando Martinez from OKC. Martinez was performing well in AAA so far, so no surprise there.
- Matt Downs has been sent down to OKC. Jordan Lyles has taken his roster spot with the Big League club.
- Carlos Lee has been placed on the DL with a strained Hamstring. Brett Wallace will be taking his spot on the roster, seeing his first action of the year.
