Baseball America[/url]"]Luis Acosta, ss, Cubs (3-for-5, 1 R, 3 2B, 4 RBIs, 1 SO): The Cubs paid $1.1 million to sign Acosta last year on July 2 because of his offensive potential. His days at shortstop (and probably the infield in general) will probably be short-lived, but the 17-year-old makes plenty of loud contact when he puts the barrel to the baseball.

Last Goldstein tweet re: Baez, I promise:

 

@Kevin_Goldstein

Very impressed with the bat, but expected to be. RT @cubfanbudman79: @Kevin_Goldstein so we're you impressed with Baez?

it is so fun having a farm system

Imagine being a White Sox fan...

 

At least the other 29 teams will now draft more similarly to them.

It was either Law or Callis that says he truly expects the Sox to try and still find a way to be even cheaper under the new rules.
