    Man, where are Davell and UK? I appreciate that the posters who have very little knowledge generally stay out of this thread and don't contribute, but it really sucks that there are only 3 or 4 posters who add anything here (in the draft thread). Again, it's better when posters who actually know what they're talking about and have friends in the industry, write posts/breakdowns and do mock drafts. No one thinks you're credible when you just put names down and try to make a fantasy mock draft...

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/mock-draft-1-0-the-top-ten/ My Mock Top Ten (from a few pages back): 1. Baltimore Orioles - C Adley Rutschman 2. KC Royals - SS Bobby Witt Jr. 3. Chicago White Sox - 1B Andrew Vaughn 4. Miami Marlins - SS CJ Abrams 5. Detroit Tigers - RF Riley Greene 6. SD Padres - LF/RF Hunter Bishop 7. Cincinnati Reds - SS Bryson Stott 8. Texas Rangers - CF Maurice Hampton 9. Atlanta Braves - 3B Josh Jung 10. SF Giants - RF Kameron Misner So I got the first five right with their mock top ten list. It seems like LHP Nick Lodolo is rising and basically all teams consider him the best pitcher in this draft. RHP Alek Manoah might challenge for that title and close the gap. I think with a top ten pick it's smarter to go after advanced bats and position players with super high upsides (especially in this draft class). More pitchers selected will help the Cubs and that should allow a good bat to fall to 27. So someone else made a mock draft here and I like how no one responded to it or bothered to comment on it lol. It's a terrible mock draft IMO. I like Rece Hinds, but his going second is pretty comical...

    that's your take away? No, that's not my "take away" lol. Some people are so daft. Where did I ever say that was my main point or strongest observation? Dude, why do you even respond to my posts... Yes, Russell Westbrook played poorly and Paul George was talking about the "bad shot" that was an incredible shot by Dame. Plenty of people have been talking about the series and the way Russell Westbrook plays and whether he needs to take fewer shots/be more of a pure PG for OKC to go further in the playoffs. Lots of good analysis out there on this series. I've already been discussing all that with friends and don't feel like talking about all that here. I saw the dumb hat in the video and think maybe Russ should consider taking it off or maybe not wear it? Man, seriously some people here.

    https://twitter.com/cubs_live/status/1120481748931022848?s=21 Man, is that depressing... Sealboy hitting for this much power makes no sense.

    When Nico hits a conventional HR I'll try to find out his trot time around the bases just for you.

    [bbvideo=640,360] [/bbvideo] So according to Statcast, Javy Baez had a sprint speed of 28.6 ft/s and a home-to-home time of 16.11 seconds in the video above. I think Baez thought he hit a HR if I recall correctly and started out of the batter's box a little bit slow. So Hoerner doing it under 15 seconds is pretty impressive. Dude is fast...

    I see Shea Langeliers keeps dropping. That would be a really nice pickup, IMO. Yeah, he's a good player. His power is down and he broke his hamate bone so that makes sense. His stats are pretty good and he's probably the best defensive C in this draft class. His pop times are very impressive. I've heard mixed things about the bat. I mean if the defense and receiving are top-notch does it really matter if the bat (and power) is average? I like other hitting prospects more, but he'd be a good safe selection for sure.

    https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-mlb-draft?sort=-1,1&type=0&pagenum=0&team=&pageitems=200&pos=&filter= So they're constantly updating the draft rankings over at Fangraphs. The top four doesn't really change, but below that it's very fluid. Right now they have four of my favorite players (Misner, Shewmake, Wilson and Nunez) ranked 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th, respectively on their big board. I'd be pretty happy if any of those four made it to 27. Rising SS prospect Anthony Volpe is now 28th. Not sure why he's dropping so much (bad reports I guess), but RHP Carter Stewart is falling fast (47th).

    Ian Happ at AAA Iowa: .206/.296/.349 (.645 OPS) That's in 63 ABs. Also, has a 7:24 BB/SO right now.

    [tweet] [/tweet][tweet] [/tweet]I really hope teams pass on Shewmake and that the Cubs take him at #27. Really sucks you can't move up or trade up in the MLB Draft...

    [tweet] [/tweet][tweet] [/tweet]I like RHP Josh Wolf and think he's a good rising pitcher. I think he'll go somewhere in the back of the 1st round/CBA pick area. Overall, I don't like the prep arms in this year's draft nearly as much as last year's group (which was really special IMO).

    [tweet] [/tweet][tweet] [/tweet]Has anyone seen this before? I saw one video of him taking BP before the 2011 draft, but that was it.

    I don't think bizarre is strong enough in this context. We need a better adjective lol. It's horsefeathering incredible.

    [tweet] [/tweet][tweet] [/tweet]So some people still complain about bringing Hamels back (and I get it considering we could have used that money to sign Harper), but he's been pretty damn good in his time with the Cubs. Totals across two seasons: 102 1/3 IP, 28 ER, 1.04 WHIP, 2.46 ERA. I'm glad we brought Hamels back.
