Prospects Live: BA: MLB Pipeline (166):
-
I would have much rather had Ben Joyce I’m not very interested in a once-a-week 1-inning relief pitcher until after the 5th round. Certainly not interested after Carraway and even Crochet.

Cubs pick Christopher Paciolla, prep SS from Temecula in the 3rd, UCLA commit BA: 128 MLB: 166 Prospects Live: 91
-
You know this already but I love Battles too. He should be a senior sign so that’ll help financially.
-
So Horton and Ferris appear to be the type of pitchers the Guardians pick.

Longenhagen at FG: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2022-mlb-draft-day-one-recap/

I think they might still be able to swing a guy around $1 million early today but it’ll require some senior signs too.

Time for Ferris blurbs. BA had him at 34:

Since FG’s Board is so great, we know that Cade Horton at a 45+ FV will rank either 6th or 7th in the Cubs system (with Cristian Hernández also a 45+). Ferris at a 45 FV will rank as high as 8 (accounting for the addition of Horton) to 16.
-
I was posting Horton’s all over the place so here is a summary of his rankings: ESPN - 22 FG - 12 BA - 23 MLB Pipeline - 24 Prospects Live - 12 Between the two picks, the Cubs outdid their pick number with Pipeline and PL’s rankings, came very close to matching BA and FG and was about 10 spots lower on ESPN’s.

Jackson Ferris… Drafted a prep lefty from IMG Academy (Gray) for the second straight year. Rankings: ESPN - 41 FG - 43 BA - 34 MLB Pipeline - 19 Prospects Live - 27

Also been linked to Ford, Bolte and Toman.
-
Horton and Howard would have been a part of the same freshman class at Oklahoma if Howard didn’t turn pro out of HS.
-
Ugh, Schultz was the guy I was hoping the Cubs would pop in the 2nd with their slot savings.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 7-17-22

It’s okay to just stop at “I don’t know anything about this stuff”. He's thrown 53 innings of college baseball and a TJ surgery already under his belt. 53 innings as a sophomore, including TJS, is reasonable and not a death knell to his SP hopes. I’m sure teams actually think the lack of miles is a feature, not a bug. As an example, Dylan Cease was drafted out of HS and then needed TJS at a similar age as Horton. Cease didn’t break 53 innings until his age 20 season, just like Horton.
