I certainly didn't expect the Cubs to be so aggressive in going
after high schoolers after the start of this draft. My reading
of the tea leaves might not be all that great, but Schlaffer
sounds like a guy who might go for around slot. He wasn't
particularly highly regarded coming into the draft, and I'm not
sure where the extra money to pay him a substantial superslot
would come from with us needing to sign more highly regarded
guys like Hearn and Herz. We obviously expect him to sign,
though, if we were going to take him in the 9th round.
Nice seeing us be a little more aggressive in the back part of
the first ten rounds.

Round 10 pick:
[quote]43. Wyatt Hendrie, C, Antelope Valley (Calif.) JC (BA
RANK: 357)
Source: JC • Ht: 5-11 • Wt: 200 • B-T: R-R • Commitment/Drafted:
Never Drafted
Hendrie popped up in a weak California junior college crop as an
athletic catcher with advanced defensive skills. Hendrie is
short but solid at 5-foot-10, 200 pounds, has a plus arm and is
the rare catcher who is an above-average runner. His receiving
is still a bit rigid because he is new to catching after
primarily playing the outfield in high school, but he has the
ingredients to project as an average or better defensive
catcher. Hendrie is a contact hitter with a flat swing who hit
.410/.479/.660. He controls the barrel and manages the strike
zone well, but his power projection is limited because his swing
is very compact. Hendrie is considered signable and projects to
go late on the draft’s second day or early on the third day.

I wonder if they are going to try him as a starter. He has 3
pitches so he could do it, but if they leave him as a reliever
he could move quickly.

Here's a closer the Cubs could've gotten later and and gone with
more upside early:

The Cubs third round pick was 103, he went 100. So the Cubs
should have taken him in the second round?
