2014 Cubs Pick Discussion

[Sammy Sofa]

Schwarber is cool with me. fat guy, good name, likes to walk and hit dongs. what's not to like?

 

 

This is the best analysis I've seen today.

 

I too like fat dongs.

WHO DO WE WANT?

[jersey cubs fan]

College pitcher, any good?

[jersey cubs fan]

A college senior in the 2nd?

[CUBZ99]

A college senior that might end up in the bullpen? A cheap sign? :banghead:

[Guest]

College pitcher, any good?

 

Good pitcher, #3 starter potential. Senior but drafted around where he should talent-wise.

 

I would have gone with one of the high ceiling prep arms like Reid-Foley, Adams or Gatto.

[Guest]

They've got to be targeting someone big in the 11th, I'd guess.

[jersey cubs fan]

theoretically neither guy should get slot. Will there be anybody worth throwing cash at in the third or later?

[Cubs Fan Dan]

I like it........ mainly because I am not going to second guess Jed, Jason and Theo when it comes to drafting.

There will be guys out there for the 11th+

[Cubswin11]

Drafting college players means we must be shifting to win now mode...

[Deeg]

A very bland first day.

I hope so. I love the White Sox draft so far. Disappointed that the Cubs seem to be going cheap.

Besides Kris Bryant, which player that was drafted are you most impressed with in the Theo/Jed era?

I like Schwarber much more than Rodon - especially considering money.

 

This pick? Wondering about the strategy.

I thought slot money was for 1-10 rounds.

Anything over $100K in the 11th or later counts against your total pool money.

BA ranks him 67th. He converted to P in college so his arm has less mileage.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Stinnett’s stuff has continued to trend upward this spring, as he threw a no-hitter in February, dominated a head-to-head matchup in March with Carlos Rodon and North Carolina State, and has reached 97 mph with his fastball, which usually sits 92-95 with above-average life. He gets extension in his delivery and has a pitcher’s frame at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds. His hard 78-83 mph slider is his preferred second pitch, with a too-firm, little-used changeup also in his repertoire. Stinnett is a senior but also a legitimate top-three rounds talent with something left in the tank due to his relative inexperience as a pitcher.

And if you don't sign a guy in the first 10 rounds, you forfeit the pool money for that pick.

Well it's well in line with the Cubs drafting strategy last year. Draft a big bat early and draft college pitching consistently with the rest of the top ten rounds.
