    Abel is gone by 12, PCA goes to Rays at 24...I'm on the Shuster wagon for college starter arms with two weeks to go, Cavalli's fastball command is a little weak makes it hittable and HRable I don't think I've ever agreed with you this much, Tom, but here we are. Cavalli's fastaball command is the huge reason why I don't want him. I'm not optimistic Abel is there, but man would this be a fun pick.

    I keep forgetting about Estrada. Poor guy just hasn't been able to stay on the mound long enough to show us what he has.

    Hassell went 8, Hendrick 12, Soderstrom 13, Crochet 14, Abel 17, PCA 18, Howard 37 and no Burns. Risers include Bitsko at 15 and Foscue at 19. Yes, please.

    I don't love the prior shoulder issue, either.

    I would bet a good bit that Ashford isn't drafted at all in this COVID draft. Big time football recruit.

    This was my thought as well, so I double-checked to make sure they were brothers. Turns out they aren't. That a very good description for the vibe I get from Hassell as a hitter as well. He seems to be better defensively than McKinney was as a prospect, though.

    Am I the only one that didn't know Mick Abel was not directly related to Kevin Abel?

    Ben Hernandez is a local kid. Cubs fan too.

    This video reminds me how sad I am that we won't get any kind of extended look at guys like Pinango this year. :bye:

    And then he died So true.

    I remember Kopech hitting 110 doing that same drill.

    23rd feels about right to me.

    That's really fun to see. I definitely need to be brushing up on the college players this year with Dan Kantrovitz heading up the draft. He's been running a team's draft since 2012 and has only taken a HS player 1 time in the 1st round. That includes the multiple competitive balance 1st round picks he's had the past 5 years in Oakland. He seems to take plenty of overslot prep players in the 2-5 rounds (with decent success there, I might add), but it appears to be a really conservative 1st round philosophy.

    Give me all the Venezuelan catchers!!!!

    Freddy Zamora blew his ACL and is out for the year before it even began. He was a borderline 1st rounder that could have seen his stock really rise with a good year.

    I'm the low guy on Strumpf, so I would absolutely love a way to deal him for something valuable at the big league level.
  17. Hrubes20
    Gotta like Brailyn gettin some likely top 50 love. I sure hope Ethan Hearn lives up to that ranking. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on whether Riley Thompson is a better prospect than Kohl Franklin. I go back and forth between those two. I prefer Franklin due to the changeup, the improving velocity, and the lack of a prior arm surgery.
  18. Hrubes20
    He was a disappointment for me as well. Never great when a high profile IFA signing doesn't hit well in the DSL.
  19. Hrubes20
    Man, I forgot how weak this past draft class was on the positional side. Sigh.
  20. Hrubes20
    Maybe it's my hatred of the Shitbirds that is clouding my judgement, but I'm just not as high on Gorman as most. That swing and miss in his game is ugly; light tower power or not.
  21. Hrubes20
    He really matured since the previous video I saw of him. I also don't hate that his nickname is Arod.
  22. Hrubes20
    I like that number much better, although I'm sure he's not averaging that. For reference, Contreras averaged 1.91 this year and was third in all of baseball (Realmuto led the majors with 1.88 average).
  23. Hrubes20
    That list of former Cubs Minor League Pitchers of the Year is depressing.
  24. Hrubes20
    Because he was hittable and walked a decent amount of guys the 1st half. Marquez wins 2nd Half pitcher of the year easily, if that were a thing. But Abbott had the better performance from start to finish. Always important to remember that this isn't "Best Hitting Prospect and Best Pitching Prospect" in the system, but rather who played the best (i.e. best stats).
  25. Hrubes20
    We knew BA would be the low guys on the Cubs. I'm with you on the Red Sox being bad. They are the worst farm system IMO.
