I just feel like, recently, we've been taking guys with less swing and miss in hopes of adding power and we haven't done it so far. Turang, Bello, etc. Oh look, another light hitter.

ramssuperbowl99 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 I really like the idea of a good catcher utility guy even if there's not a ton of power, especially if it leads to less job security for the Hernan Perez type that CC always loves.

beekay414 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 So where do these guys slot in on our top 30? Mitchell is obviously #1 but where do Zamora, Warren, Wiemer and Cantrelle land? Do they all make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. I am a fan of Warren in a super-utility role, and he was a guy I really wanted the Cubs to look at. He's my favorite pick for you guys.

beekay414 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I forgot how ridiculous Ben Sheets's curveball was. Definitely a +, if not ++ pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 We had the best value draft according to FanGraphs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umphrey Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 All draft picks now signed, and under slot value, except #1 pick Mitchell still unsigned. I thought Cantrelle would be over slot and Zamora at slot. I wonder if Mitchell is going to be expensive then, and if we targeted under slot guys the rest of the draft.

beekay414 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Schedule came out today...furthest we go is Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Minnesota. I'm not sure if we go to KC or not, though I know we play them. It's all Central division teams, both leagues, as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't spend the full pool, which is a bummer. Also: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umphrey Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Was actually thinking this was one of my favorite drafts in recent memory. I liked 2017 (Hiura) but I also liked 2012 (Roache, Haniger) so what do I know (thought Haniger was a throw away pick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
