I think it depends on the individual draft. In 2014, there was no consensus at 1.4. It looks like the Cubs did well to go underslot with a good hitter in Schwarber and then use the savings on Cease, Steele and Sands (and by spreading their funds to three 7-figure prep arms, they mitigated some of the inherent risk of HS pitchers). But in other years, they picked their top guy and used up all their funds in the first round (Bryant, Happ, etc) with no complaints from us.

Tied for first!

We're gonna have to work on this name. Buttery? This is fantastic. Buttgomery sounds amusing but I think Buttery wins.

We're gonna have to work on this name.

‪Love how Rizzo sets up now for Contreras' throws.‬

I think one underslot guy is enough if you want an overslot pitchers.

Calling his command mediocre is generous. Butler has retired 12 in a row since I said that.

Rucker is replacing Oscar de la Cruz, who went on the Myrtle Beach DL. I know. Preston Morrison went on Tennessee's DL too. So, someone's gotta take his place. I posted somewhere about the options yesterday. In the end, I figured it was probably Kellogg. With Robinson moving up to MB. Think slight chance of just moving Robinson straight to Tennessee too. I don't think anyone at MB deserves a promotion (too early for Alzolay, who is the closest to being ready). I assume they'll just plug in Pugliese in the Tennessee rotation.

What little I've followed has seemed suspicious how much the Cubs were tied specifically to that player that it seemed to be an obvious plant and likely misdirection on somebody's part. The Cubs love Gray and Appel, they're just glad they get to pick one at #2. On the other hand, their love for Almora and Benintendi/Happ before those drafts was well known and accurate.

Scout.com mock: http://www.scout.com/mlb/scouting/story/1782760-2017-mlb-draft-mock-2-0?s=321 Besides 27 and 30, I'm including the Blue Jays' pick at 22 because it ties to the Cubs.

Victor Caratini was the minor league player of the month for May and Duncan Robinson the pitcher of the month.

I think some of the lure with Gray is that he hasn't been that good and has been injured so he should come cheaper (should obviously be the key word) while still maintaining a high ceiling.

Longenhagen mock:
