Some of the 2013 MLB draft picks selected in the final rounds are already looking like they are going to be hidden gems.

It's impossible to know about every potential hidden gem—after all, not many thought Albert Pujols would turn into something after being selected in the 13th round in 1999 by the St. Louis Cardinals. Still, there are a number of players who immediately leap off the page, even if they were drafted in the latter stages of the event.

The past few seasons, the Houston Astros have been the laughing stock of Major League Baseball, but that may not last for long. Things are looking up in Houston, as the Astros continue to grow and learn in their rebuilding process.

Players like Jose Altuve and Jason Castro are beginning to show glimpses of their tremendous potential. New ownership and management are in place to get this organization on the right track.

Major League Baseball is ready to launch an offensive.

The target: players with ties to the now-defunct Miami anti-aging clinic "Biogenesis."

Launch date: soon.

...Or at least, that's the plan.

Former Biogenesis founder and proprietor Tony Bosch holds the cards in what may become the largest performance-enhancing drugs crackdown in modern sports history.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were recently swept by the Houston Astros, a team with a minuscule payroll widely believed to be one of the worst in the modern era.  

This drops the Halos' record to 25-33, 11 games out of first place in the AL West and seven games out of the wild-card picture.

This is a confusing time in baseball's history. ESPN's Outside the Lines is reporting that Major League Baseball is prepared to suspend roughly 20 players for their alleged association with Miami-based "wellness" guru Tony Bosch and his now-defunct business Biogenesis. Some of the players, including Ryan Braun and Alex Rodriguez, could each face a 100-game suspension—some without ever failing a test.

With the MLB First-Year Player Draft set to kick off Thursday evening, the St. Louis Cardinals are no doubt busy with their own mock drafts.

Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun has been linked to PED usage—again. And this time, it could do real damage to his legacy. 

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig has only been in the majors for one day, so it makes sense that the first response to my question on Twitter/Facebook, "Who does Puig most remind you of?", was Moonlight Graham, who played in one major league game for the New York Giants in 1905 and was later portray

The MLB world was delivered a bombshell on Tuesday night when it was revealed that Ryan Braun, Alex Rodriguez and several other players are facing potential suspensions for performance-enhancing drugs.
