    I have no problem with this pick. The Cubs obviously talked to Jeff's coaches (and advisors?) and got a feel for the situation beforehand. I just dislike the overdraft in the first round - whether or not Colvin was moving up the draft boards, he was an overdraft. But in addition to the overdraft to allow for this pick, they're taking a guy who will start his baseball career as a college senior or graduate and hasn't produced consistently at the college level. Factor in the injury risks of playing football and the odds that he may very well change his mind from what he told the Cubs this week and you get a lot of risks for that much money and the equivalent of a first round pick.

    I don't like snubbings. But congrats to those who made it.

    569 - Jeremy Papelbon, LHP, U North Florida, senior, 6'1'' 205 EDIT: Redshirt junior

    I'd just like to reiterate how much I dislike this pick. If they wanted to take a big risk on a pitcher with a lot of upside, there were better, younger, and more easily signable choices out there at #13.

    It's early June and Fox's OPS is still over .900.

    The Old Style letters? No, although those were bad enough. Now they're doing Cub fan standup. Makes me want to jam Q-Tips in my ears.

    I'm close to rather watching the Bartman clip over and over again than listening to the Old Style commercials on WGN Radio.

    You can continue that conversation in social.

    Hopefully he can be our new K Hernandez.

    Nope.

    Cubs go back to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

    Yay center fielders.

    And he's already making $100,000 to $150,000 at Notre Dame. The Cubs will have to really fork over some cash.

    NU's George Kontos goes 164 to the Yankees. Please don't sign.

    First round money and letting him play football doesn't strike me as the greatest of plans.

    Two college picks that have shown a combined total of 1 very good season in the past two years.

    Cubs take Samardzija...

    .420 OBP is troubling? .350 and .327 the previous two years. So is the order, in chronological, .327, .350, .420? If that's the case, he's improving quite a bit each year. .350 was the first year in roughly half of the ABs of 2005. His OPS did go up from 2004 to 2005, but barely. And a .776 OPS isn't exactly that great. They're putting an awful lot into his 2006 numbers (or more likely his frame and tools).

    Thanks for the notes. Haven't they used up their creativity yet?

    Talk about a project/reach. All that keeps me going is that I trust in Wilken. I meant Samardzija. I've never really understood why he's been ranked so high. I don't want to think about Colvin anymore today.
