Brady Aiken was too polished to pass up for the Houston Astros. The California high school left-hander mesmerized the team holding the No. 1 pick with his impeccable control, and was the first selection in the Major League Baseball draft Thursday night. ''It's the most advanced high school pitcher I've ever seen in my entire career,'' Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said. The 17-year-old from San Diego's Cathedral Catholic High School is just the third prep pitcher to be selected first overall, joining fellow lefties Brien Taylor (1991, Yankees) and David Clyde (1973, Rangers).
