Which already busts the brackets for most "experts."

Many studies, baseball people, and doctors disagree.

I was half-hoping Lowder would slip to the Cubs.

Gonzalez or Teel falling would be nice.

Excellent contact skills with bad plate discipline is a skill
set I’d like to just stay away from.

Gonzalez wouldn’t be falling as he’s generally rated lower than
13. Only way he goes higher is if someone like the Twins takes
him as an underslot.

I’d take Teel if he’s there but the Cubs seem incapable of
taking a C in the first round.
I expect another “trade down” underslot pick.
