Astros Draft Busts That Stung | Houston News

The Astros’ draft history is packed with stars like Biggio and Bregman, but also studded with heartbreak—biggest busts like Mark Appel, Jio Mier, and Phil Nevin, whose careers never lived up to the hype. Appel, the 2013 1 pick, vanished before ever playing for Houston. Mier, drafted just after Trout in 2009, got stuck in Triple-A. And Nevin, the 1992 1 pick, barely played for the Astros despite being selected ahead of Jeter. Still, the Astros’ draft pedigree is strong—and with two first-round picks coming up, they’re aiming to turn the next draft into a home run.
