2018 MLB Draft review: Unpacking the Cubs draft

What a week. Jason Heyward hits a walkoff grand slam. South Bend tosses a combined no-hitter. The four full-season affiliates swept to wins. Some good things happened with the Dominican affiliates. Another successful draft has been completed. And I fell asleep early. This column is about me unpacking from the draft and where the affiliates are now.

Tennessee has been “a bit over .500” much of the season. Much of their success has been pitching-based. Trevor Clifton pushed for an early-June promotion to Triple-A Iowa. Clifton, Duncan Robinson, Tom Hatch, Oscar De La Cruz, and Michael Rucker have combined to start all but one of their games.
