Johnson should start Monday. Aaron Brooks is also up with Iowa.

Scout.com 3-round mock draft has the Cubs taking the top junior college prospect with their first pick:

Corey Black was also promoted to Iowa.

I think you can scrounge up $300-$500k in savings with this pool, at best. I can see them taking one prep arm in the first ten rounds and it'll be someone more in Trevor Clifton's price range (I know he was picked after the 10th round but I'm referring to the ~$250k over slot he got). I can't see them going with 4-5 senior signs to swing a 7-figure slot when they're already missing their best two picks, so no Hudson, Sands or Steele types. But maybe they're way more creative and aggressive than I think they can be.

The emotions I went through in that one sentence.

No way he'd fall to 104, would he? (Word is it is PEDs.) He doesn't have a college commitment so there goes his leverage. [tweet] [/tweet]

Hopefully in preparation for a call up. That's what I was thinking. Kind of like Russell getting some 2B reps before he was promoted last year.

Forget the game, did you guys hear about the 18-year old who became the richest boy in California after winning $528,429 from a new mobile game?

It's a shame Jorge's foul ball got the catcher and not the umpire.

Pirates lost. Cubs should come back so their lead is double digits.
