Basicially a little blurb on Delome.

With an already thin farm system, no picks in the first two rounds of the draft and the inability to sign their third- and fourth-round draft picks, the Astros are looking at Tri-City outfielder Collin DeLome as one of their better prospects. DeLome, 21, was hitting .306/.373/.500 through 202 plate appearances, after batting .329 with 10 homers for Lamar in the spring. The fifth-round pick, who was the Southland Conference player of the year in 2006, is a good athlete and has played mostly center field for Tri-City, where he has shown good range.

Thanks for that.  BA sure went the easy route there.  Stats and info easily available on the web.

But DeLome is interesting.  He a speed guy, but a raw hitter and outfielder.  Something like Josh Flores was when he was drafted.  DeLome though has less power but hits lefty.

I read alot about Flores speed (a click away from WillyT).  Is DeLome only a click or so away from Flores?  If so, that's great.  I had no idea he was that fast.

Delome was just outside BA's top 20 for the NYPL.
