Carlos Correa - SS - Astros

Astros signed No. 1 overall pick SS Carlos Correa.

The Astros officially announced the signing during a press conference Thursday afternoon at Minute Maid Park. Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that the deal is worth $4.8 million. The slot value was $7.2 million, so it should give the Astros the proper breathing room to sign the rest of their picks. Correa, a shortstop from Puerto Rico, has already drawn lofty comparisons to the likes of Troy Tulowitzki and Alex Rodriguez. He's expected to report to extended spring training before beginning his pro career with the Gulf Coast League Astros.

Carlos Correa - SS - Astros

Carlos Correa will be introduced to the media on Thursday afternoon at Minute Maid Park.

Correa agreed to a deal with the Astros less than 48 hours after they made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft. The 17-year-old shortstop will likely begin his professional career with the Astros' affiliate in the Gulf Coast League after spending a few weeks getting tuned up and meeting team personnel at extended spring training.

Carlos Correa - SS - Astros

Astros owner Jim Crane said the team has come to a verbal agreement with No. 1 overall pick shortstop Carlos Correa.

Reports surfaced Tuesday that a deal was close, and it appears that it's a formality at this point. Correa is expected to get around $5 million which would be over $2 million under the assigned slot value. The Puerto Rican shortstop will likely be sent to extended spring training before beginning his pro career with the GCL Astros.

Carlos Correa - SS - Astros

According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, the Astros and No. 1 overall pick shortstop Carlos Correa are already progressing toward an agreement.

The slot for the No. 1 pick was assigned a value of $7.2 million, but Heyman reports that the deal is expected to be around $5 million, which should give the Astros a bit more money to spend on the rest of their draft class. Correa is coming to Houston on Thursday for a physical and a deal should happen pretty quickly thereafter. The Puerto Rican shortstop will likely be sent to extended spring training before beginning his pro career with the GCL Astros.

Carlos Correa - SS - Astros

Astros selected high-school SS Carlos Correa with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft.

After being connected to Stanford RHP Mark Appel for months, rookie Astros GM Jeff Lunhow has thrown a curveball with his first ever pick. A spindly 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, Correa is still a month shy of his 18th birthday. He's also Rotoworld prospect guru Adam Foster's top rated under-19 player, and boasts incredible bat speed to go along with elite defensive range and athleticism. Billed as a solid baserunner and excellent worker, Correa has the tools to develop into a perennial All Star.
