Our chances of him falling to us are slim and none, but if |
|
Konnor Griffin fell to our spot, I�d write his name down with |
|
zero hesitation. |

My understanding is that the draft is weak overall, but how does |
|
the Cubs current spot look? |
|
Is it one of those years where you really want to be in top |
|
5-10? |
|
Or are teams in the middle of the first "happy" because there's |
|
more depth than high-end talent? |

The mock drafts I've seen seem to have the Cubs pick where there |
|
is usually kind of a drop off. The Cubs have been more off the |
|
public boards recently though. |

Recent mock I saw said the Cubs were looking to go cheap with |
|
their first pick. Shocked me to the bone. |

With current leadership, I see no point in hoping for much. |

Going cheap is a silly statement, since they always spend their |
|
entire allotment, including the 5 percent overage, every year. |
|
But it has been a pretty good strategy so far, Bringing us |
|
Horton, Shaw and others in addition to Ferris (who we turned |
|
into Busch) and a couple of others. |

Law has them drafting Malcom Moore C, Stanford. He has some |
|
impressive batted ball data similar to Shaw. He has also heard |
|
them connected to Ryan Waldwchmidt, OF Kentucky and Christian |
|
Moore. Both have high exit velocities and went 15 and 16 in his |
|
mock. Malcom Moore is the name he�s most frequently. |

|
An excellent primary catcher would allow them the flexibility to |
|
use Ballesteros as roster construction warranted. |
