What they're saying:
Just talked to a scout about #Astros first round pick Alex Bregman. He loves the kid. Called him a "Matt Carpenter-type.''
— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) June 9, 2015Bregman has amazing baseball instincts. He’s gonna be a guy more valuable than his numbers.
— Mike Ferrin (@MikeFerrinSXM) June 8, 2015For my money, Dansby Swanson and Alex Bregman are the two guys I'd take over anyone on my team. @astros have the true grinder in Bregman.
— Kendall Rogers (@KendallRogersD1) June 8, 2015Much like Swanson, Alex Bregman (Astros #2) is a very high floor guy. Excellent makeup, been a great SEC player for 3 years.
— JJ Cooper (@jjcoop36) June 8, 2015Will be interesting to see what the Astros do with Bregman given the SS and 2B positions are well occupied
