LONG long time lurker... Not even a first time poster. Huge Cubs fan (obviously). Made a profile here a long time ago, but I forgot it so I decided to make a new profile lol. Big fan of these posters: Tim (duh), CaliforniaRaisin, Transmogrified Tiger, davell and a few others. Not a big fan of Kyle or whatever he calls himself these days... Anyways, I love following the MLB draft and it's actually on my birthday this yr (June 9th) so I'm excited. Kinda sucks we won't be making any picks on Day 1. These are the draft slots for the Cubs for the top 10 rounds starting with Round 3: 104. Cubs: $573,900 134. Cubs: $429,700 164. Cubs: $321,800 194. Cubs: $241,000 224. Cubs: $186,000 254. Cubs: $173,800 284. Cubs: $162,300 314. Cubs: $156,600 Total Pool amount: Cubs $2,245,100 I say the Cubs save money in rounds 9 & 10 with some cheap Senior picks like in year's past freeing up roughly ~$300K that can be added to the amount at #104 giving them roughly $874K to play with... There are so many players they could target in that range and I feel very strongly they'll be looking at pitchers. Personally, I'm a big fan of Wichita State RHP - S. Tewes. He went down with TJ surgery very recently and is plummeting down draft boards, but I would look at him if the medicals aren't too bad and if he's willing to take a discount. He's listed as 6'5" 200 lbs. with room to fill out a little bit more. Already very strong with a low 90's fastball that touches 94 occasionally. Good mechanics from what I've seen. Anyway I'll post some more once we get closer to the draft
