He sounds like a great guy to take sub-slot...

Another 23-year-old senior in 6th round.
Not sure I see what the Cubs need to sub-slot for? Unless
they're maybe saving up for an overslot prospect ahead?
Wouldn't think that Gray or Triantos are great enough to command
big superslot? Wouldn't there be some other good prospects who
wouldn't need superslot?
Dumb rules question: *IF* they hypothetically sub-slot in
rounds 1-10, are they allowed save some of that in order to
superslot in rounds 11-20? Or is $150K (or whatever) the max
for 3rd day picks, regardless of whether they spent their shots
on days 1+2?

Im not claiming to be Baseball America.
Im just going off what my eyes saw.
Im a strong UT baseball supporter so Im sure I saw more than
most but when you watched the games he always hit leadoff and
all they ever mentioned was his hitters eye and how he had a 50
something game on base streak.
I never said he sucked in the field just that his strength was
his hitting.
I was personally hoping they'd take UTs 2nd baseman Max Ferguson
who went like 6 picks later.

23-year-old 6th-round lefty, look at his weird stats.
152K/78.2 innings, led D2 in K's. But still allowed 66 hits, 3
of them HR.
-usually if you're averaging >1.9K/IP, I'd expect the H/IP to be
way less than 0.8.
I think that means the BABIP-allowed was over .430. Crazy.
Guy is an A-student as a chemistry/biology major. Maybe he can
become a future coach like Breslow?

8th round, another guy who'll turn 23 this month. Four straight
picks who are either already 23 or will turn 23 by the end of
July. Maybe they liked Triantos and Gray more than I thought?

I don't know enough about the draft class as a whole to have a
meaningful opinion, but based on the writeups I'm seeing, it
seems that the Cubs are stretching for upside wherever possible,
even with their signability picks. Chavers, for example, was
likely 1st round material before he tore his labrum in 2019.
Getting that guy as a 23 year old, post-injury, we'll sign him
cheap, but there's a ceiling well beyond the traditional college
senior draftee.
Obviously the first rounder isn't a traditional upside pick, but
if a guy you have in the top 10 finds you at 21, you have to be
pretty happy about that.

Or a guy like Drew Gray. Just started pitching. Supposedly the
spin rate on his 4 seam is 2800 rpm... that's like best in
majors level, 100th percentile. Extreme risk/reward pick there.
