They just took some bum in the 1st that they could have had in the 3rd round. Un fucking real.

Nobody cares about the draft unless your team sucks balls dummy.

Meh. No one has any clue about pitching prospects.

I like the Jensen pick for the Cubs. Might be a slight reach in value, but I think he's an arm that could be a fast-track type player that could help either as a starter or a high-leverage reliever. Underrated arm.

Woah. Ryan Jensen is the first real surprise of the night, and honestly, I don't dislike it for a reach. That's a premium fastball in terms of both velocity and movement, and I called him a "sleeper to keep an eye on" in my personal notes. Very interesting pick

nobody knows anything about what these guys will be but I wouldn’t necessarily be encouraged by everyone calling it a reach. The only worse thing is if everyone said it was “a guy the White Sox really liked also”

I like the change in approach. This guy has a big league ready fastball. Get that secondary pitch to be more effective and you have a power reliever next year.

I think most rankings had this guy closer to 100 overall than top 30.

@MDGonzales Jensen listed at 6-0, 180 pounds and was ranked 109th by Baseball America but throws in high 90s. Cubs need power arms.

I like it, I've never been a fan of soft tossing pitchers.

What do they know? I'd like too see their top 100 from 15'16' 17' and see how they did. I tried to look but it's a paywall. I know they had that fatso Burger real high..he's a god damn bum.

In 2015, Baseball America had Paul Dejong as the 108th best draft prospect.

After the Top 10 or 20 draft prospects, it is a guessing game with rankings.

Sounds like they drafted Carl Edwards.

boy if I were a Cub fan I'd be cheesed off at that pick.

2nd round pick hit a HR immediately after being drafted. Cubs drafted him while he was up to bat in his game. Hit a HR right after it.

I think Keyser was always very high on him

small, older guy with power arm...when should we schedule the TJ surgery

This confirms that Keyser isn't one of the well respected scouts in the game, I guess. No one listens to him.
