Of course Cubs will take BPA in their eyes, but think this will be year Cubs take college pitcher in first round.

Of course, we don't know who they really like and don't especially like but guessing pick will either be Funkhouser, Fullmer, Jay, or Harris.  White Sox at #8 expected to take college pitcher, so hopefully don't take the guy Cubs really want. 

If Cubs take HS outfielder, surely means they just love the guy.

Sounds like the Cubs would take Bregman if he were there which seems unlikely.

I wasn't all that awed by Harris' scouting videos, but then there might not be much wow factor in this draft.

(Beats me.  I thought Cameron was supposed to project well for center.) 

It looks like most believe that Cameron will be gone before the Cubs pick.  If he IS there, I hope they take him.

Well, if they do surprise me and take a pitcher, I hope it's Funkhouser, because I dig his name.

Yeah, but it doesn't come close to Skye Bolt.

Gives a nice summary and video of the players.  They weren't kidding about Clark having a weird grip on the bat.

At this point, I'm hoping we take Donny Everett, a hard throwing RHP from Clarksville (TN), make him a competitive offer, watch him go to Vandy, and have an extra pick next year.

May not be a bad choice.  2016 might have 7 guys that could go #1 this year.

Seriously?  Where?  Which umpire called it?  Home plate?

Home plate ump called it.  The only thing I could see would be not coming set before pitching for a full second, but that is a ticky tac call

I had a balk called on me when I picked a kid off of second many years ago.  The ump said I had to step off the rubber to pick someone off of second.  I can't believe I didn't get tossed from the game.

I remember some umps who looked for crap like that but blew simple calls on the bases or balls and strikes.  They knew all the nonsense rules, but...  I had a kid called out once because he didn't go back and tag his base after a foul ball.

I'm still convinced it wasn't a balk, 25+ years later.

Mayo with his first Mock Draft.

Has Walker Buehler to Cubs.

Funkhouser drops to #17.

Says Trenton Clark has ability to stay in CF.
