Hudson sounds a lot like Sean Marshall.

http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/mizzou/mizzou-recruit-stands-tall-as-draft-prospect/article_d1e7aef6-0459-52d1-899f-9a580a6866d8.html

Article that Chris had found last week.  Says he's likely to be >250 pounds when he's all grown up. 

Obviously the Cubs don't draft him if they don't know he fits their budget.  Made reference to having a "price", didn't care what round, just whether or not they make the price.  Obviously Cubs are willing.  Whether that price exceeds 3rd-round slot or not, who knows.

Wilson lists as 5'8".  The Anti-Hudson.

Stocking up on center-fielders, I think. 

Get a HS center fielder with speed but no power and modest arm. 

Get a college center fielder with speed but no power and modest arm.

Maybe go after the Cuban guy to round it out, another CFer with both speed and arm?

With Hudson and Kellogg, we're pretty solid down low...

Kellogg was 11-1 as a freshman but only 54 Ks in 103 IP. Not too exciting there.

This year, 92 Ks in 115 innings.

Pitched over 100 innings all three seasons at AZ State. Maybe Phil knows something about him.

He threw harder as a frosh.  Including a no hitter.  He lost velocity as a sophmore.

Kellog sounds like a future LH bullpen guy to me.  Hopefully he'll be more James Russell than Erik Jokisch or Chris Rusin.

I'd guess Wilson would need seven figures or something close to get him away from Vanderbilt, but we wouldn't have drafted him in the 4th round if we didn't know we could sign him.

Maybe they can clean up his mechanics and add some MPH? /graspingatstraws

He's a 5th round pick, chances he ever makes it to the majors is low.  He's got 4 pitches and could be a BOR starter, for the 5th round that is a decent pick.  It is nice to not take soft tossing lefty or college 2B prospect with no power in the second round any more.
