I think the last relief pitcher that the Cubs converted to a
starter was Andrew Cashner. He was fairly good for a while.

I got to know Cashner pretty well.
He was a true Texas redneck who drove a jacked up truck.
He gave me a pair of Nike's once.

Up there in the realm of surprising headlines with "Sun rises in

Thanks, reb, very interesting. And encouraging.
That's for ANY college draftee? Or among LHP only, some RHP
might be higher?

Lifted this from the Cubs Draft Tracker guy re. Koen Moreno, the
HS 5th rounder.
Gave an interview with a local podcast guy.
Q: Do you have an idea if you're gonna if you're gonna pick
between heading to college VCU and signing with the Cubs?
A: Yeah, so I mean, it's definitely you know, this draft is so
different because, you know, they want kids to sign. So I
believe that I am going to sign with the cubs. Um, so yeah

Dan Kantrovitz was on the Cubs Weekly podcast (Marquee Network)
and they had Callis on after him.
-They went for tools because they believe in the player
development system
-Burl has the stuff to get out major leaguers, but he still has
things to do
-Little needs a lot of work. They are going to send him to the
pitch lab and work on his delivery and pitches, but you can’t
teach the velocity
-Nwogu needs to rework his swing, but a lot of power/speed
-He didn’t really touch a lot on the 5th rounder
Callis
-would rank Burl ahead of Jensen and Strumph (I wouldn’t he be
closer to 15-17. Relievers are relievers. Jensen could still
start.
-Howard would be 4th ahead of Amaya.
-Really likes the 5th rounder and thought he wouldn’t be
singable.
I like the focus on tools. They need to focus that on guys that
could be a starting pitching. When you look at the Cubs starting
prospects Franklin might be the only guy that doesn’t have
reliever risk and has a ceiling higher than a fifth starter.
