He has the Cubs taking Clark. For college pitchers he mentions
Jon Harris, who is from the same college as Pierce Johnson, as
some one the Cubs like. Of all the high school OF I like
Tucker's upside the best, but when he fills out he is going to
be a corner OF. Clark and Plummer might not stick in CF either.
Unless Bergman makes it to the Red Sox, I don't think Fulmer
will make it to the Cubs. High effort delivery and poor command
just doesn't seem like a Cubs pick. McDaniel thinks Buhler's
delivery makes his fastball easy to pick and it is flat and that
makes it easier to hit.
Edit: BA Mock Draft Has the Cubs taking Fulmer

A left fielder doesn't seem to fit this front office's draft
history.

Dave, that's not true. If you believe what the front office
says now, they drafted Schwarber believing that he would be
relegated to LF.

Yeah, I think the front office believes in elite bats (and/or
elite arms if the arm is more-elite than the available bat).

It might better be summarized as liking high upsides, the higher
the better, with the prospects of reaching the upside potential
being a major consideration.
In other words they seem to believe in the approach that makes
sense and which other teams should follow, though few do, or at
least not very well.

I'm surprised that Aiken and Nix aren't ranked higher

Aiken has rumors that there is more wrong with his arm than TJS.
Until his medicals are released to teams nobody will know where
he is going to go. Could be top 10 or in the 40's.

Matuela at 9 and Aiken at 47.
But we would have to take a doctor at 103
