Astros To Select First Overall In 2012
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [September 22, 2011 at 3:13pm CST]
The Astros are on the clock. The Twins won today, ending their 11-game losing
streak and assuring Houston of the top pick in the 2012 draft. As our Reverse
Standings page shows, there's no way that the Twins will finish with a worse
record than the Astros this year.
The Astros will finish with at least 102 losses (even if they don't lose
again) and the Twins reached the 60-win plateau with today's win, which means
they won't exceed 102 losses. Because the Astros finished with a worse record
(73-78) than the Twins (91-60) a year ago, Houston would win a tiebreaker and
select first overall in 2012 should both clubs happen to finish 60-102 this
year.
Houston has selected first overall twice before, though both selections came
long before they hired current scouting director Bobby Heck. Houston selected
Floyd Bannister first overall in 1976 and selected Phil Nevin with the top
choice in 1992, five picks ahead of Derek Jeter.
