2010 Cubs Picks & Signings Thread

[davell]

BTW, if the Cubs would be nice enough to draft Nick Tepesch I'd be grateful.

 

Rangers just got him.

[sneakypower]

Snyder was in the Colvin draft. And has been okay but nothing great (800 or so OPS)

 

Now, if you are talking Vitters for Porcello you might have a point.

you would?

Elliot Soto R/R SS 5'9 - 160lbs JR Creighton

Ryan Hartman R/R/ RHP 6'3 MT. Zion HS IL

[Schwarber Fan]

3 guys in the system named Soto now?

[UK1679666180]

If they can sign him, I really like the pick of Steven Brooks out of WF.

Steven Brooks - 6-0 195 - Jr. - Wake Forest

Those are some pretty decent numbers for the ACC and the 17th round.

[Guest]

That's 4 prep arms in the first 15 rounds. I count 3 in the previous 4 years by Wilken (Huseby in 06, Acosta in 07 and Kirk in 09).

 

For potential redrafts, there's OF Keenyn Walker who is at a JC in Arizona. He was drafted out of a Utah HS last year and didn't sign.

Thanks, sounds like he comes from a damn good high school also. He was HS teammates with Rick Porcello

[A-Cal]

Really stocking up on arms, which I guess isn't a bad thing.

Brooks Pinckard - RH closer from Baylor

 

23 App, 33 IP, 27 H, 18 R, 9 ER, 1 HR, 17/17 K/BB

 

Hopefully he has lots and lots of stuff.

[Guest]

I want a corner IF or two before we get to the point where the only ones available are D-2 power studs who are minor league DHs who can rack up 100 Ks in shortseason.

Umm, umm, at least hes only given up 1 HR! Thats all I've got.

I'm sure Soto and LaPage will break a .100 IsoP someday, let's just consider them defensive 3Bs.

Also, 8 HBP.

[UK1679666180]

Pinckard has the highest ceiling of any of the Cubs draftees including Simpson.

 

That might be overstating it a bit, but where he's drafted or his numbers doesn't indicate how go he can be.

 

When BA does their tools, he'll be listed with the best FB.

Dustin Fitzgerald - RHP Hill JC Texas -- 6'4 210

[UK1679666180]

Fitzgerald has a big, physical build that could still add more strength, and is a very good athlete for his size. His fastball was consistently in the 88-91 mph range during the summer and he complemented the pitch with a solid slider and pretty good changeup. Fitzgerald showed command of all three pitches and mixed them up with developing maturity

[Guest]

UK, can Pinkard start or is he strictly a reliever?

Reliever. Max. effort & no real 3rd pitch to work off his 4 seamer and sinker.
