    Highest ranked guys still undrafted #56 Dax Whitney #76 Garret Schull #79 Carson Wiggins #80 Chase Mobley #91 Sawyer Farr #92 Noah Franco
  2. Tryptamine
    Not that the rankings are the end all be all, but as of now. The Dodgers are the only team with only 1 guy drafted in the top 100, the Cubs are tied with numerous others for 2nd fewest with 2.
  3. Tryptamine
    He's a JR though, so it's not like the usual college SR where you can just say here's 10k, sign the contract.
  4. Tryptamine
    A quick read indicates glove first catcher with not a lot to offer with the bat.
  5. Tryptamine
    Please will that into existence. Thanks.
  6. Tryptamine
    Carson Wiggins still out there.
  7. Tryptamine
    So depending on the article he's between 5-7 to 5-9 and 160 to 190lbs.
  8. Tryptamine
    I said it jokingly, I actually kind of like the pick.
  9. Tryptamine
    Kind of surprised there have been no pitchers so far
  10. Tryptamine
    With that said, it sounds like the only reason Ty isn't much more highly regarded is that he's small.
  11. Tryptamine
    I feel like they just picked Ryan Theriot
  12. Tryptamine
    He's a prep guy so I can't even imagine the savings would be all that substantial. Why take this huge risk?
  13. Tryptamine
    Unranked HS player, I have no idea what to make of that.
  14. Tryptamine
    Guardians draft is crazy, I know they had the money, but damn.
  15. Tryptamine
    I feel like the Angels have had a really really good draft so far.
  16. Tryptamine
    There goes Bazzell, I had some interest in him.
  17. Tryptamine
    Not that I think they'll spend to do it, but I think if you add Jansen/Bregman to that line up it becomes a super deep 90+ win lineup. No elite mega mashers, but that's like half a dozen guys who will finish in the 115-130 wRC+ range and 3 others that will hover around 100.
  18. Tryptamine
    Honestly the best option in FA, if you can deal with having a full time DH and have come to terms with no Soto, is probably JD Martinez. 135 wRC+ last year, 133 this year. In FA at 3B/C your best bat is Bregman who is coming off a 125 wRC+ and is sitting at a 107 wRC+ this year.
  19. Tryptamine
    Joey Oakie is the name that sticks out to me, but again, where is the money going to come from?
  20. Tryptamine
    As I said, he's probably not a starter because of the control issues, but the stuff absolutely plays where he could be a high leverage reliever right now. I also think you could go out and get a guy like Kikuchi for money similar to the 2/36 left on Taillon's contract this offseason.
  21. Tryptamine
    I have no issues selling Taillon, I'm just not selling him for farm filler, especially when eating money. If Baltimore wants to send back Chayce McDermott then we talk. He's probably not going to remain a starter, but he should be a very good pen arm. If Baltimore wants the Cubs to eat a chunk then it probably has to be Cade Povich.
  22. Tryptamine
    I'm expecting slot for Cam Smith and maybe a few hundred K savings on Mathis, if that. So there's really not enough money to do anything particularly crazy at this point. I would expect primarily arms from here on out though.
  23. Tryptamine
    Yet another reason to never take Fansided seriously. Eat half of Taillon's contract to net a lead piece that wouldn't be in Chicago's top 20 and a secondary piece that might not be top 30. Good god that's bad. https://fansided.com/posts/orioles-cubs-trade-for-rotation-enhancement For those who don't want to read Taillon+half his contract worth of cash for FV 40 Mac Horvath and FV 35+ Trace Bright
  24. Tryptamine
    Yeah, I'm not really getting this one at all.
  25. Tryptamine
    They must be really confident he can play 3B
