He didn't make an appearance on our final Big Board and Mock Draft, which covered the top 135 prospects in the draft. Still, he's got a devastating changeup and impressive control, and the Cubs were always going to select an under-slot college arm on the first day of the draft. If he can add a few ticks to his fastball and discover a usable third pitch, he's got mid-rotation upside. Given his high floor, he should rise pretty quickly through the system. From MLB.com's draft profile of Reid: What do you think of the Cubs' selection of Reid? Do you like the pick, or is too far of a reach? Let us know in the comments! View full article

After downsizing from a two-day, 40-round draft to a three-day, 20-round draft, Major League Baseball has now gone to a two-day, 20-round draft. The first three rounds (which is a round longer than before) will happen later today, beginning at 5 p.m. You can catch it live on MLB Network and ESPN. The Destination: The Show crew would like to invite you to join us live as we cover the entirety of the first three rounds. The last 17 rounds will take place tomorrow beginning at 10:30 a.m. There hasn't been a 17-round draft day in a while, but rest assured — there used to be 20-round days, so North Side Baseball will have the capacity to cover the duration. The Cubs will make three selections on Day One. 17th overall (1st round) 56th overall (2nd round) 90th overall (3rd round) The Cubs will have the 9th-smallest bonus pool ($9,636,800) in baseball.
