Not too keen on these injury guys.  Not sure they were Kerry Wood types to start with.  I think the success rate with the surgery guys is way overrated.

I doubt that Aiken would sign this summer if he falls into the second round.

If he doesn't he's a fool.  He's already played that game once and lost big.

Baseball Prospectus has released a mock draft but it's only for subscribers. Anyone have access?

Trenton Clark, OF, Richland (TX) HS

Well, from just a quick read and a couple video views, I like him.

Some of the reports about him make him sound like Almora, with a little more power and a less defense.  But the reports seem to vary from scout to scout even more than is normal.

BA has Clark something like just the 5th best HS outfielder in the draft, yet the Cubs seem interested.

Perhaps with Soler in right, and Bryant/Schwarber/McKinney/Jiminez largely pointing towards left, might the Cubs interest in HS bats be limited to HS guys they project to still play a true CF even after they fill out and grow into their power?  Is that true for Clark?  (Beats me).  And less true for the other HS bats?  (Beats me.  I thought Cameron was supposed to project well for center.)
