    From what I understand, the Cubs scout who signed Gray and Ferris has gone to the Dodgers. Obviously IMG is a big school the Cubs will scout thoroughly but I wonder if the new guy will have the cache to get the team to pick Johnson with a top 75 pick.

    In year’s past, I’d create a new thread on draft day and edit the original post with Cubs picks/signing info but it looks like our new leaders will handle that in this thread. Anyways, here’s Greg Zumach’s final mock: https://northsidebound.com/2023/07/09/north-side-bounds-2023-mlb-mock-draft-3-0-draft-day/

    Kevin Alcántara just hit his second homer of the day. This time a grand slam. OPS up to .770, batting average up to .270. I assume his wRC+ is approaching 120,

    On Arizona’s pick (12th, right before the Cubs), Kiley said this: Oops, didn’t realize Kiley mocked the Cubs second pick too:
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    You are correct that he was pushed to AAA because they needed bodies. I assume at the time they felt he could handle it maturity-wise. Maybe they thought he wasn’t much of a prospect at the time so there wasn’t too much risk to this (shades of another emergency AAA promotion they did with another low draft pick in David Bote who eventually turned out to be a real prospect and big leaguer). Tim and you are both right about Vázquez’ defensively - he is the best defensive SS in the system.
