Cubs 2nd rounder: LMU RHP Cory Abbot. Got to be a massive underslot guy. BA's #149:
-
No. Not as good as Lester. I doubt he'll develop the outstanding command that young Lester had. I've heard S. Kazmir and P. Gammons said B. Finnegan, which I think is a solid comp. B. Finnegan was really good with KC right after he got drafted. I thought Gammons only comped Finnegan because he thought Little could pitch in a big league bullpen at the end of his draft year too.

There go three high dollar prep pitchers in a row - Perez (TJS), Sauer and Carlson. Still 13 picks to go...
-
I'd love to make a run at Carlson, Allen or Beck. Sauer too, but I prefer the other three.
-
There goes Griffin Canning. I really hope he still gets paid.

I wasn't that intrigued with Lange either. He's not glamorous and I don't like reliever concerns for a college junior but I've long learned that the non-glamorous pitchers have a better success rate. I was more interested in Rasmussen and obviously Beck.
-
I think you can sign Little for a bit under slot (he transferred from a really good baseball school to a JC for a reason). I think Lange will go for slot. Both were picked around where they were ranked on most online publications' boards.

Lange seems like a college arm this regime would like. Pats self on back.

Wow, the other JC pitcher from Florida. Brendon Little.

I want Pearson but don't think the Rangers pass.
-
Romero to the nationals has to be the least surprising pick ever.
-
Dodgers, I'd guess. (Though they love Bubba Thompson, supposedly.) You're right, I just figured if Thompson was there, they were a lock for him. Now, I kind of want Thompson lol Agreed on the last sentence.
-
He's actually been rumored to go to the Cubs with one of their first rounders as a signability pick. Interesting. Kid can absolutely mash. .387/.495/.810 (1st in NCAA), 23 HR, 30 doubles (1st in NCAA), 82 RBI (1st in NCAA). Seems like it would be in line with the philosophy we've employed with our last few first rounders. His older age and questions about his power in the pros of he's stuck at 1B or LF. Since he's reduced his Ks, I do think his hit tool is underrated by the online scouting agencies.

That's good value for Toronto there.
