If I know my so-called blind-spots, I’m better able to account for them. I think many of us have preferences borne of a lifetime of experiences. In my minding the Cubs draft class, my lean is toward college players, and hitters. It isn’t that a prep arm can’t be useful. It’s that plenty of things can go wrong for players without a college history. Mine today is about a pair of bats I’d be good with, and why.
Many “name” preps have very solid college commitments, and understandably so. If Bobby Witt Jr. gets a shakedown from whoever selects him (he won’t), Witt would be welcomed at Oklahoma.
