I weigh the same if not a little less than in high school.

I eat like a horse so I have to stay on top of it though.

If I didnt I'd have the potential to get fat.

You have to put some weight on, Dusty, for Tough Enough.  I want to be manager!

If we can get back to the draft topic for a second, latest rumors have Cubs focused on these two guys at #9.

Not sure about the other guy but Haystack Calhoun allegedly played free safety at U of Miami.

They would have a terrific OBP.  They probably would get hit every time up, since they'd take up both batters' boxes.

Here's McDaniel's latest on Aiken's medicals.

Upside it might not be horrible.  Downside, no one that knows is talking.

Law has Carson Fullmer at #43 in his new top 100. Law sees him as a reliever. Seems like he should be higher, even if a likely reliever.

Law being Law.  Even if he is a reliever, he's a high leverage guy.  I have my doubts about Fulmer being a starter long term, but picking a closer at #9 in this draft wouldn't be a bad thing.  I doubt the Astros regretted picking Billy Wagner at #12 in 1993.  Stupid Brooks Kieshnick.

Yeah, but Law is interesting because a bit out of the mold. Not a generic guy.

Would be fine with me if Cubs pick Fullmer. Go with the upside guy. Don't think he'll be there.

Don't think i've seen a recent Mock with Cubs taking Tucker. Maybe a better version of Billy McKinney? Chris Yellich?  Would take that too.

How about the center fielder Whitley they have at 7?  Or the catcher Stephenson or whatever? 

CF and C seem to be two positions where we don't have real confident solutions, or depth of options, in view.  If Cubs believed in either of those guys, they certainly wouldn't suffer from redundancy.

Hey, haven't you heard? Schwarber is going to catch for 7 seasons.

I wonder if we'll get something more definitive before draft. Think Schwarber popped up a couple days before draft as possible Cubs choice. Bryant we knew was in mix. Almora splattered all over the place. Baez was in mix.

No clue this time---so far.

I remember when we took Hayden Simpson, jim Callis on the broadcast was confused whether Simpson was a lefty or righty. Hope there is no confusion this time around.

No, he knows that Simpson's a righty now.
