Of course none of us have any clue who would be the most astute round 1 pick for the Cubs.
But, for me, not too excited about drafting a college guy who projects at a OF corner. Even the catcher Moore and 3B Cam Smith and the 2B Christian Moore are projected by some as having to move to a corner.
Maybe a corner guy is the best pick because of the bat, I don’t know. And trust Cubs to make a good pick.
Still, seems like the pitcher Yesavage—if still on the board at #14—seems to project like a (righty) version of Jordan Wicks. These types of guys tend to have a useful MLB career compared to other picks. So, could see that.
Other interesting guy more recently mentioned is the Florida high school shortstop Kellon Lindsey. Just know what I read about him but upside legit SS with a hit tool, nice! Those SS guys are always the rage internationally at age 16, so why not a age 18 guy here with upside. Apparently would be underslot sign at #14, so could get overslot guy later.
If Cubs, instead, go with a LFer who can hit, fine with that too. Just make a good pick.
