If he doesn't he's a fool. He's already played that game once
and lost big.

FWIW Jon Harris had a good start over the weekend and Kiley
McDaniel would tie him more strongly to the Cubs at #9.

Baseball Prospectus has released a mock draft but it's only for
subscribers. Anyone have access?

Well, from just a quick read and a couple video views, I like
him.

Thanks.
BA has Clark something like just the 5th best HS outfielder in
the draft, yet the Cubs seem interested.

Some of the reports about him make him sound like Almora, with a
little more power and a less defense. But the reports seem to
vary from scout to scout even more than is normal.

Clark is a speedburner though unlike Almora, and that's a tool
that can really come in handy.

Perhaps with Soler in right, and
Bryant/Schwarber/McKinney/Jiminez largely pointing towards left,
might the Cubs interest in HS bats be limited to HS guys they
project to still play a true CF even after they fill out and
grow into their power? Is that true for Clark? (Beats me).
And less true for the other HS bats? (Beats me. I thought
Cameron was supposed to project well for center.)

I thought about that although one report I saw had Clark moving
to left eventually. He seems to be one of these smart, pure
baseball types which I think is where an Almora comparison would
come in. Be almost a relief to have a non-K type hitter with
speed in the system. Assuming Clark is a non-K type; can't
always tell against HS pitching.
