The Appel of the Trade

It turned out the Phillies trade of Ken Giles to the Astros wasn’t quite what was reported:

A Phillies-Astros trade that sent closer Ken Giles to Houston now includes the top overall selection from the 2013 draft, Mark Appel.

It was initially reported that Giles was traded for Vince Velasquez, Brett Oberholtzer, Derek Fisher and Thomas Eshelman, but the teams announced Saturday that Appel, not Fisher, was dealt along with Harold Arauz.

Appel, of course, was a first pick draft choice. Obviously, the Astros soured on him, but he might still have some potential.
