The first round will be on the MLB Network. After that MLB.com
will stream the picks. If I remember correctly the 2 round
might have a video stream. Eventually it becomes an audio
stream with Callis and Mayo talking about some of the picks
every 5 rounds or so. If you don't want to listen to it MLB.com
will update the picks on their website.

From McDaniel's Mock
9. Cubs – Daz Cameron, CF, Eagle’s Landing Christian HS (GA),
Florida State commit
The Cubs have been very hard to peg this spring, as they’ve been
tied to over a dozen players at this pick and it seems like they
are more focused on misinformation than most years. They would
take Tucker, Benintendi, Jay or Fulmer if they get here.
President Theo Epstein has seen CF Andrew Benintendi, RHP James
Kaprielian and RHP Jon Harris in the last few weeks and all
performed just okay in his looks. Prep LF Trenton Clark had a
lot of buzz here early, but seems to be fading. Collegiates RHP
Jon Harris and 2B/RF Ian Happ have both been tied here for
awhile and RHP Walker Buehler and Allard have been mentioned a
bit as well. I’ve also heard prep CF Garrett Whitley and Juco
RHP Phil Bickford here, but those seem unlikely. The Cubs had
multiple high level scouts in to see Cameron down the stretch
and he’s indicated he wants big money, but that’s an expected
show, given his adviser (I’ll let you guess who it is). I think
the decision would come down to Cameron, Happ or Harris in this
scenario.
Keith Law in version 2 of his mock has Ian Happ to the Cubs.
McDaniel has Happ going to the Reds and doesn't think he will
last past the 12th pick.

Yes, thanks for keeping us updated on these notes.
I thought McDaniels comment was interesting: "They would take
Tucker, Benintendi, Jay or Fulmer if they get here."
If one of us would have suggested Benintindi for our pick last
month, it would have been considered unrealistic..... but
probably not because Jay/Benintindi were over-our-heads
too-good-to-last-that-far unrealistic.
The unpredictability is why the draft is so awesome.

BA has the taking Kapriellian in their lastet mock.
The Cubs have traveled in packs—who do they think they are, the
Blue Jays?—to see many of their top targets at No. 9, with large
groups of scouts and executives going in to see Garrett Whitley,
the top SEC tournament targets such as Benintendi and
Kaprielian. We’ve written for weeks that Kaprielian may offer
the best bet among the college starters, but that his at times
pedestrian velocity holds him back for some clubs, as does his
perceived price tag. Kaprielian wasn’t as good against Oregon as
he had been in recent weeks. His fastball had maintained 92 mph
deep into starts in recent weeks (including the no-hitter), but
in his last outing his fastball dipped to 88-90 by the fifth
inning, but he has a track record of performance and a strong
feel for using his above-average secondary stuff.
Selection: James Kaprielian, rhp, UCLA
Ugg

Marlin, the PSD insider who has had some decent info in the
past, thinks that Benintendi is the guy that the Cubs would like
to pick. He is doubtful that either Cameron or Benintendi will
last to the Cubs pick. He thinks the backup to those guys is
college pitching, FWIW.

Dillion Tate throwing in the low 90's is getting roughed up by
San Diego State. The slider is nasty though. Guy working for
ESPN has him 96-98 through the first so ESPN gun might be slow.

McDaniel tweeted that McLeod and others from the Cubs are at
Tate's game.
