#Cubs select LHP Brendon Little with the No. 27 pick in #MLBDraft. #CubsTalk

Sounds like a good pick!

Little has a wipeout curveball and could probably be a bullpen lefty right now - but I'd develop him as a starter first. He's been up to 96 regularly in junior college and has a changeup. He needs to get over his front side better but the curveball is his ticket.

Boy do I love this pick for the #Cubs. Could get out big league bats right now, has the power CB to change eye-levels and keep bats honest.

I think you started one about it???? Good pick.

Alex Lange. 2 pitch guy. Bullpen arm.

Sounds like a guy with a path to the big leagues:

Between Little and Alex Lange the Cubs took two of the best true curveballs in the draft class, both from starters who may end up relievers in the end. Lange's delivery is very likely to push him to the bullpen but his breaking ball is very hard to hit even in the zone.

#Cubs land Alex Lange out of @LSUbaseball - this is a guy the Cubbies can move up the ladder very very quickly. Hammer curveball

What did law think about them before the Cubs drafted them

2nd round pick:

RHP Cory Abbott

Pitched a perfect game this past season for Loyola Marymount.

Needless to say arms are the priority. Just as they were in last year's Cubs draft.

I love everything about this draft. Fuck yeah!

I have no idea who anyone of these guys are, keyser any thoughts?

_________________

why would you ask Keyser about this?

He is anti everything Cub. He couldn't give an objective thought on the Cubs if he life depended on it.

Hell even the subdivision don't even like him any more.

I think a Keysor for IMU trade could benefit both sides

Nah IMU #thatcub

He's not biased til they hit the big league club, he's pretty unbiased until their debut.

I love Keyser even if I may not agree with everything he says. The guy has forgotten more about baseball than most of us know.

You obviously missed his thoughts on guys like Baez while they were still in the minors.

_________________

He seems to have "forgotten" how to identify big league talent. He may be fine to look at high school and college arms, but his thoughts on big league rosters-- particularly the White Sox's-- has been dreadful as of late.

I thought Baez sucked til 13 months ago, there's probably one guy on the board who knows most of the draftees and it's keyser, he knows his shit.

Alex Lange is pitching on ESPN. 2 pitch guy. Real good when the curveball is working.

It looked like he got shelled

That happens when he's not commanding the curveball.

Nice! Cubbies suck!
