The Chicago Cubs are looking in a five-round draft for something good. Did they find it?

The Chicago Cubs and a diamond in the rough? And better yet, a five-round draft? Slim. But they used it on a guy they’ve been dying to get. And the pitcher? May be here by summer, if that happens.

The Cubs and the draft–a socially distant draft–is complete. They got Ed Howard, a Mount Carmel prospect, and then a pair of fireballing left-handers. The five they got are good. Real good.
