I think they would have taken hitters in each of the scenarios.

There was talk about the Cubs drafting Michael Conforto last year before they picked Schwarber.

The Theocracy have openly talked about picking hitters early in the draft and then focusing on pitchers later as a strategy because hitters simply have fewer injury concerns and move more quickly thru the minors.

When they picked Bryant, I wanted them to pick Jonathan Grey because of the lack of high ceiling starters in the system.  It looks like I was wrong.
