Yeah, if the draft had played out differently in recent years, Cubs may have taken pitchers at top of the draft. Theo/Hoyer are too smart to decide they have to pick a certain type of guy---depends on the facts of each instance.
Possible a position player will just be the better pick again. Think they do look at certain traits, though none singly are dispositive. If they're looking at Clark, doesn't hurt that he's a lefty bat who may be able to stay in CF.
