Unless a talented position guy that's higher ranked drops to 14th pick I feel like the Cubs will probably pick a pitcher in the 1st round.  Doesn't seem like a lot of upside in position guys after the first dozen ranked prospects.  A bunch of 50 rated tools across the board isn't very fun.

Hate to tell you, the pitcher options aren't any better.

Under slot for the A’s?

Perhaps a little, but it won't be much.

Caglione to KC at 6

 

[JD94]

Wow again. I thought White Sox were going Caglianone there. 

[Tryptamine]

Really thought WSox were going bat

[CubinNY]

Lance hit the big time. Good for him. 

[JD94]

Hagen Smith ran out of gas at the end of the year and wasn’t very good his last few starts. There’s also command concerns with him. I watched him a few times this year just not have any command at all. Still enormous upside

Good guy, well deserved.

I’m having a hard time hearing them with all the background noise.

Did Wetherholt just fall into the Cardinal's hands?

Life is not fair

[Eeyore]

Why are they showing guys playing with rope?

[Rob]

Seems like we're exactly where people thought we'd be after 7 picks. But very few of those first 7 picks went where people expected.

Nah, I think Kurtz is a surprise. He was the most likely bat to drop out of the top 10.

Montgomery was injured but I thought he’d be gone already

I was more afraid of the Cardinals getting Burns or Smith since they've fallen behind in pitch development.

Won’t happen, but it would be pretty sweet

With the teams in front of us, I don't see that happening.

Konnor Griffin

 

[JD94]

Congrats to Konnor. I hate that he’s going to a division rival, but he’s a fantastic kid from a great family. He’s a very humble kid. Best player we’ve seen come through MS in a long time.
