Happy Draft Day!

Submitted by Rob G. on

The first round of the MLB draft happens today. It will last at least twice as long as necessary. Good news for us Cubs fans is they have the #6 pick, so we can get the first pick over quickly. I believe they do go through the supplemental round though today and that's two more picks (#43 and #56) for the Cubs at the end of the evening.

The buzz for the Cubs centers around the 2 high school position players, Carlos Correa ("He's another A-Rod!!!) and Albert Almora ("the Cubs would take him even if they had the #1 pick"). Huzzah! The latest mock drafts from Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus both had the Cubs taking Almora for what it's worth.

Other names loosely linked to the Cubs are Florida catcher Mike Zunino and LH prep pitcher Max Fried.

You can watch the fun on MLB.com.

"Good news for us Cubs fans is they have the #6 pick, so we can get this over with quickly." no doubt. well, that wrapped up a little quicker than i thought. bud selig makes a less-than-2-minute speech. neat. this might happen in 30-45 minutes. everyone's on the clock for 5 minutes and i'm sure most (if not all) will stretch it out as long as possible for no other reason than "making TV."

K. Gausman to Orioles at #4. Appel must be thrilled with Boras right now.

are you high right now? If Appel is still demanding $6-$7M, it's possible the Cubs would have to pay a luxury tax and lose a draft pick and/or not have money for some draft picks they wanted later. That would be very, very dumb. None of this has anything to do with Concepcion.

are you high? gerado concepcion is a waste of money and a roster spot even if it's somehow "cheap" to give him $7m. whether they give a guy $5m or $8m in the 1st round it probably wouldnt make/break the team.

clever comeback "None of this has anything to do with Concepcion." you heard about the new CBA right? anyway, I'm done with you, there was a reason I've been skipping over your comments the last 4 months.

not really. you seem to support flushing money down the toilet as long as it's on a reasonable payment plan. i think anyone who would do something like giving g.concepcion the deal he got would get whoever the hell they wanted no matter what. it's moot anyway.

yup. doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing, especially if you have a good plan for going cheap later. some teams are more than willing to look deeper for a deal in following rounds if they can get the guy they want or fall to them. if everyone had to go cheap no one would draft appell...and what happens in this system when the next bryce harper shows up?

Submitted by Rob G. on Mon, 06/04/2012 - 06:46 pm

Keith Law says it's Almora. and Callis says it's Almora to Cubs and Fried to Padres.

Submitted by Rob G. on Mon, 06/04/2012 - 06:47 pm

Almora it is. Welcome new Cubbie! Don't suck. See everyone in 2 hours for the next Cubs picks. ~sigh~

He does have a Lou Montanez about him...weak draft, safe pick, etc. But he is a great defensive outfielder and has decent speed, so he does have that as a fallback if he doesn't hit in pro ball.

The Cubs draft Almora. I would have drafted that blonde in the blue dress (for those watching on mlb channel)

Interesting possible stellar top three for the Bucs with Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon, two previous high Pirate picks.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
