They eliminated Ole Miss yesterday. Led the nation in HR's by a
wide margin, and had a great winning %...46-9 or so on the
season.
Roberts is their closer, had 14 saves this year. Best pitch is
cutter, gets it up to 92 or so...could move quickly.

This is from Bleacher Nation.
Pick 128 – Ethan Roberts, RHP, Tennessee Tech. Roberts is a
5’11”, 170 lb junior, and he does not show up on BA’s top 500.
He pitched in relief this year, putting up silly numbers for a
very good college team. The Cubs clearly must like him, either a
convert to the rotation, or as a pure reliever (in which case
they must really, really like him). You tend not to see huge
slot savings on college juniors in this range, so I wouldn’t
necessarily bank on that, but his profile doesn’t necessarily
seem like that of a full-slot fourth rounder. Interestingly, he
was just moved into the rotation to help keep the team’s season
alive in the NCAA Tournament, and pitched well.

Last year there was a website that listed all the Cubs draftees,
and had almost daily updates on scouting reports, signing
rumors, signing status, etc. Does anyone know who it was, and
if they will have it again, and if it has started?

It exists again, but in a different, less friendly, format.

The Cubs take U of Virginia 2B Andy Weber in Round 5.

Easily the best Virginia hitter this past season. Third team

Virgina in addition to making their pitchers do the squat they
make their hitter do a version of the old Stanford swing. Not a
fan of drafting their players.

Thanks, jhawk. I appreciate the information. Hopefully, it
will prove as useful as it has been in the past.
