HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Astros agreed to terms Wednesday with first-round draft pick Brian Bogusevic, a 21-year-old left-hander from Tulane.
The 6-foot-3 Bogusevic, taken 24th overall, will begin his pro career with Class-A Tri-City. He was 13-3 with a 3.25 ERA this season for Tulane.
"(The negotiations) didn't take long at all when you consider he was involved in the College World Series almost all the way," Astros general manager Tim Purpura said. "They were very amicable negotiations. "We're not going to push him. He'll start out at Tri-City and we'll probably have him in the bullpen at first before he gets a start."
