Keith Law: ESPN had him at 124.
-
FG had him at 49 with a 40+ FV:
-
4th rounder: Arkansas OF Christian Franklin
-
Apparently the Cubs announced him as an LHP and MLB.com is wrong listing him as an OF.
-
Gray ranked 123 by Kiley McDaniel at ESPN (only listed as a LHP). Not ranked by Fangraphs (only ranked 73 players) or Keith Law (only ranked 101 players).
-
It's frustrating the Cubs only went with one complex team in Arizona for this reason. It feels like Made (and possibly even Howard) don't belong in Myrtle Beach right now and have to play there.
-
Pipeline has him at 179 but only as a pitcher:
-
BA rated him 129:
-
3rd rounder: Prep LHP/OF Drew Gray, IMG Academy in Florida Listed as an OF on the pick.
-
Keith Law had Triantos at 100: Kiley McDaniel had him at 61. Fangraphs had him at 46 (their blurb was posted higher).
-
MLB Pipeline had Triantos at 78:
-
BA had Triantos ranked 59th:
-
There's no way in hell they're going to be able to sign Solemeto, White, and Chandler, right? Right??? There's a reason they didn't take Leiter or the prep shortstops first.

Tough sign, committed to Clemson for baseball and football.
-
Teams with lots of pool space do try to push these guys down (go ahead and tell teams in the 20s you've agreed on a bonus that's higher than their slot) which I'm sure the Pirates did with Solemeto but also, I'm sure they had a few guys they were trying to do this with.

Cubs draft prep 3B James Triantos - NamedLikedMaddux/IvyFutures had it nailed.
-
Goodness, what an amazing draft for UCLA.
-
He graduated HS early and enrolled at Florida in what should’ve been his senior year of HS so he actually does have some leverage.
