Texans Drafted Top 100 in MLB Amateur Draft

Here is a list of all Texans -- by birth, high school and/or college -- drafted in the top 100 spots of the MLB June Entry Draft over the past 20 years. The "High" level is the highest reached entering the 2010 season. The "Bonus" is the original signing bonus. The reason I chose "Top 100" instead of just first round picks is because of those "sandwich rounds." The first round could range anywhere from 30 to 64 picks. Also, Top 100 is about 6 percent of those drafted, about the same as using the first two rounds of the NFL draft in relation to full draft and signed free agents. ----- 2009 No. Rnd.
