Like TomtheBombadil wrote U of I RHP - C. Sedlock is the highest rated prospect in the draft and is very impressive. I doubt the Cubs will get a chance to draft him since he'll probably go in the 1st round. I believe RHP - Z. Burdi is actually from the Chicago suburbs (I could be wrong?) so he would be the highest rated draft prospect from the Chicago-land area? The HS C - Cooper Johnson is a defensive wizard behind the plate and will most likely be taken in the 2nd round. There is also a RHP - M. Dietz who pitches downstate at a small CC (John A. Logan) who will probably go in rounds 3-4. 6-6 guy that throws 96. Could be an interesting pick.. http://thesouthern.com/news/opinion/editorial/hefferman/hefferman-dietz-an-unassuming-pro-prospect-in-your-backyard/article_a840fb80-25c6-5193-b6da-2878a1fb68f5.html
