Eww, Hatch's head coach is Matt Holliday's brother.

Thomas Hatch is pitching for Oklahoma State on ESPN2 now. Todd Walker (yes, that Todd Walker) is doing color in ESPN2.

Guessing it was the latter moreso than the former. Gotta think Hatch has some leverage as a red-shirt sophomore. Hope I'm wrong. ___ It's a nice crop of arms considering the dynamics of this draft. I guess I'm expecting some college positional players today, guys to fill out the depth chart. Too lazy to check right now, but if Daniel Pinero hasn't gone, he might be an interesting guy to fit in. Piniero went yesterday.

9th round pick is a college senior. Not sure if they're saving money for a pick tomorrow or some of the guys today.

Cubs 6th round pick - Chad Hockin - is a guy I was interested in in round 3.

Cubs pick Duke RHP Bailey Clark in the 5th. I remember there was some talk of him going in the first early in the year. [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet]

Yeah, I expect them to take seniors at least in 9 and 10 to get an additional $300k. I wouldn't mind a Wil Crowe type at this point.

4th rounder: Tyson Miller, RHP, Cal Baptist [tweet] [/tweet]

Bobby Dalbec, Nick Banks (position player) and Krook have all been picked in the fourth round.

10 picks to go!

I agree. There's a definite separation between those three and Almora, Happ, Cease and anyone else you think is close.

Gleyber is #6 on this week's Hot Sheet:

Damn, Kevin Gowdy got drafted and by a team that will have tons of money.

Brooks is the guy the Cubs got for Coghlan back in spring. He's been at AAA the last few seasons. You're thinking of Aaron Brooks. Whoops, I was the one who mistyped Craig in my first post. Yeah, it was Aaron Brooks who got bumped up.

Oh, the team that is being investigated by the FBI took a player who failed a drug test for PEDs? They must have liked the Astros scouting report on Perez. He's clearly being groomed as the successor to Jhonny Peralta as a performance enhancing Cardinal shortstop.
