I have been following you all do this sence it started. And in my opinion if Drabeck (sp) or bard are avaiable at this pick I do not see how the cubs can pass on eather of them.

Both are fine players, but Bard's tendency to be a thrower instead of a pitcher and Drabek's supposed character/makeup issues are worrisome.

Bard is definitely a possiblity, but I think the Cubs would prefer a player with a higher ceiling. I think Drabek's perceived character and attitude problems would make him an unlikely pick for the Cubs. On the other hand, if a Boras guy like Hochevar or Scherzer fell to the Cubs, I think they'd be all over him.

I believe 12 pm CT.

There's no reason the Cubs shouldn't have made their pick by 12:30, right? I wanna know if I'll be able to find out their pic while I'm at lunch.

[TruffleShuffle]

I'd take someone like Matt Antonelli - a hitter with patience - but the Cubs would never do that. Still, I pick him.

[texascub]

Well sweetpeteman's vote was the 5th for Jeffress so Jeffress is the official selection for the Cubs.

 

The Blue Jays are now on the clock.

[texascub]

With most of the upper level college pitching prospects gone at this point, I think the Jays will take Matt Antonelli from Wake Forest.

RHP Daniel Bard, North Carolina.

[Outshined_One]

1B/OF Travis Snider for the Jays

 

Also, we made it to the Cubs. That's all that counts. ;)

[texascub]

Well it has been 12 hours, and 3 players have one vote apiece so who is the official selection?

I'd be willing to change my pick to Snyder since the Jays are getting so much pub with him in the last 36 hours.

[texascub]

Ok, then Snider it is I guess.

 

The Nats are now on the clock.
