I honestly had only read an exciting scouting report on a Cubs P draft pick maybe a handful of times throughout 2013-2021. It was tiresome reading all of the hope the pitchability is met with velocity in the future blurbs. Turned into a wasteland across the system when we needed it the most and caused us to make some drastic trades as we all know. I understand the injury-risk had to be considered but they went too far in that direction. I am glad to see them take more "live" arms these days, and the development afterward is easy to have confidence in.
Nice to have Merryweather, Alzolay, hopefully Palencia improves his control, and Little will help give the pen a boost as well... maybe Burdi. That is some serious velo coming at you. Just pray they can throw strikes.
