I agree that is weird the Cubs have been so linked to Allen. I can definitely see why, plus run and plus defense at SS with a possible plus hit tool and makeup. That screams a better version of La Stella. Law also put 27 in there for a reason, he could have said the Cubs aren't going to pick him. So it might be 30, they might try and move him down to second round. I have no clue.
I go back and forth on what the Cubs should do. Part of me wants the Cubs to pick high school pitchers or just pitchers in general. The other part of me is that pitchers are fragile and scary. I'm glad I'm not the guy in charge and I can just shoot off on a message board.
For the next few years I hope the Cubs take nothing but pitchers. I agree that pitchers are fragile and scary, but the lineup is pretty well set with young players for awhile and everyone this deep in the draft is a crapshoot anyhow. Take 10 pitchers with your first 10 picks and hope that 2 of them pan out. If this little SS pans out he is essentially going to be a utility guy or trade bait if we keep Russell, Bryant and Baez (not to mention Happ and anyone else currently in the org.).
How far back do you go with your Creighton fandom? I am coaching youth baseball with a former Creighton pitcher.
