I can't imagine Luhnow coming out of this (and the release of their reports about a month ago) looking too great among agents and fellow GMs.

Nice hit by Grantland. Houston is looking bad. Luhnow has gotta be embarrassed.

Comment From THE average sports fan
Aiken is not getting $5 million again, the Astros not only lost him but another valued player. Law has them from one of better to one of worst drafts. How did this deal not get worked out?

Jeff Sullivan:
Aiken is a big believer in himself, the Astros are legitimately concerned about his arm, and the Astros also have an overall offputting organizational personality

MLBPA files a grievance.

It would be hilarious if Aiken is granted free agency.

More Astro weirdness. Mark Appel, last year's 1-1 who has gotten lit up in A ball, gets promoted to AA and is brought to Once Known As Enron Field for a bullpen session...and a bunch of Astro players get really mad for some reason.

You know, between Aiken not signing and Appel starting to look like he might be a bust, it would be pretty interesting if Luhnow and co. wound up blowing two straight #1 picks.
