BA had Strumpf at 42: Fangraphs had him at 51:

AND HE JUST HIT A 3-RUN SHOT!!!

Strumpf is batting right now on ESPN2...

The Cubs second round pick is 2B Chase Strumpf of UCLA. All second basemen named Chase drafted from UCLA have had potential HOF careers so far.

Yeah those are not at all the same. Those two were picked right where they were supposed to, it just didn't work out. Abbot wasn't in anybody's top 100 that I remember, for starters. Little wasn't ranked as high as he was drafted either. Pretty much Lange was the only on who wasn't a reach. Irrespective, their track record with college pitchers is truly grisly. They really need to try another tack. Little was ranked 36th by BA and MLB. Picked 27th. That’s not a big deal at that point in the draft.

Every time? When's the last time? 2017. Not that long ago. To be fair, they didn't exactly reach on the two pitchers they selected that year. Just bad picks in retrospect. That’s not the same.

Definitely. Everyone hated Nico and one year later, he's a top 65 prospect.

FG had him at 55.

BA had him at 109:

Theo played Passan. Lol. Kiley has Jensen moving into the first over the weekend.
