The Astros have four players on their big league roster from Rice and University of Houston at the moment. Lance Berkman, Jose Cruz, Jr., and Tim Byrdak-Rice, along with Michael Bourn, who played for U of H.(For the record, they are paying another U of H guy, Woody Williams this season) As the Cougars and Owls wrap up their regular season and prepare for the C-USA tournament this weekend and the NCAA tournament after that, here's a quick glance at players from the two prominent college baseball programs closest to Minute Maid Park, who may draw interest in next month's draft:
