Tough to be upset about a potential #2 starter from the college
ranks.

Law on Horton:
Nobody raised his stock in the last month of the amateur season
than Cade Horton, who changed the shape of his breaking ball and
went on a tear in the postseason with a two-pitch combo. He
missed 2021 with Tommy John surgery, and is primarily a
two-pitch guy with limited experience as a starter – he was a
two-way guy, playing short and pitching in relief, until moving
into Oklahoma’s rotation partway through this season. He could
be just a very late bloomer, or this could be recency bias,
favoring what we saw in the last six weeks over everything that
came before. Horton is also a draft-eligible sophomore, giving
him a lot of leverage to ask for a top-10 bonus, although I’m
sure the Cubs will meet it.

Horton has risen from a injury-recovering reliever to a dominant
starter in just a few months. I believe that sometimes you can
hit gold by picking someone like that. I also believed that
when they picked Hayden Simpson. And Branden Little.

Reports are that the Rockies were taking him at #10 if he was on
the board…

I am risk adverse. This seems like a ton of risk for #7 overall.

Risk adverse [sic] teams lose - a lot.
