List of Houston Astros first-round draft picks

 * Nominator(s): Staxringold talkcontribs 05:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Built in the style of featured lists List of New York Mets first-round draft picks and List of Philadelphia Phillies first-round draft picks along with the likely-soon-to-be-featured List of Boston Red Sox first-round draft picks. Give me one second to fix the dab links using the tool, but review away! Staxringold talkcontribs 05:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments from KV5
 * "while seven outfielderss" - !?
 * "based in the Astros home city of Houston." - should be Astros'
 * "and a compensation pick from the team he signs with" - and a compensation pick from the team with which he signs
 * All done! Staxringold talkcontribs 14:31, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - Forgive me if I've missed something but for the notes, Vabcde... yadda ya, I was just wondering why is V at the beginning and why is it no the letter a? Afro  ( Not a Terrible Joke ) - Afkatk 19:06, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The idea was to keep the notes semi-consistent, and this style was developed under List of Boston Red Sox first-round draft picks which actually gets through the whole alphabet. The idea is to use V for "Value" while just simple lower-case letters for the various compensation/lost picks. Staxringold talkcontribs 19:09, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok cool makes sense, I have no tiffs over the list then, I Support it. Afro  ( Not a Terrible Joke ) - Afkatk 19:15, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Support – My comment have all been addressed, and everything looks to be at FL level.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:08, 24 January 2010 (UTC)


 * One I just thought of (as I'm starting LAA draft picks, hope that's OK), maybe the section can be Selections or Picks instead of Table.Mm40 (talk) 21:15, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Phew, scared me before I re-read that, I'm doing LAD in my sandbox right now. It's kewl with me, just so long as you intend on bringing it to FL status. I'm worried about TOR, SEA, and some of the other lists that have been made but not polished up (particularly TOR). And that title sounds better, how about we go with "Picks"?

 * Yep, Picks seems better. BTW, you may want to make the changes suggested here to all the other first-round picks FLs. I probably would've done LAD except I saw it in your sandbox. Mm40 (talk) 22:16, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Already did it when I changed the Astros list. Staxringold talkcontribs 22:35, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
