New mock from Baseball America.
27. Cubs
Another fast riser on the workout circuit has been Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Daulton Varsho, whose father Gary was a Cubs draftee in 1982 and played parts of three seasons on the North Side. The younger Varsho, a third-team All-American, has the best bat of any available college catcher, moving ahead of San Diego’s Riley Adams and TCU’s Evan Skoug, and has shown the athleticism to catch.
Pick: Daulton Varsho, c, Wisconsin-Milwaukee
30. Cubs
Chicago’s search for pitching continues. Picking at 30, it makes sense to roll the dice on an injured player such as Clarke Schmidt if the Cubs believe in the makeup and the work ethic, and everyone does. The Cubs could get a top 15-caliber talent with the 30th selection.
Pick: Clarke Schmidt, rhp, South Carolina |
