Astros take 18 yr old Max Sapp, Catcher from Windemere Florida

I can't honestly say I know anything about the kid.. but he was drafted in the first round, so he has to be pretty good.  Article found here.

"...he can hit.  Sapp batted .572 (40-for-70) with nine homers and 48 RBIs during his senior year"

Sounds pretty good to me..  I mean it's highschool... but that's still pretty impressive.. Read more on Sapp at the Space Race

2006 Draft Coverage

Hometown Notes
Brad Lincoln, stud pitcher from the University of Houston goes #4 to the Pirates and Kyle Drabek(son of former Astros Doug), stud pitcher from The Woodlands Highschool goes #18 to the Phillies.. 

This is irrelevant as an Astros fan, but Evan Longoria(not to be confused with Eva Longoria) was drafted #3.  I just like the name.. so I thought I'd post that.
