2020 MLB Draft: The Cubs focus on pitching

Getting players from draft day to Wrigley is about two completely distinct concepts: getting the right talent, and developing it. For the truncated 2020 selection process, the Cubs have chosen their five players. It becomes now about getting them signed, and getting value from them.

In general, I like the class the Cubs took this draft week. Their video, numbers, and (in one case) video game numbers look promising. As with other players in other seasons, getting value is most likely coming from players who respond well to the coaches, and stay healthy. Both of those are in the future.
