I had an article typed and ready to assess the Cubs recent and relative success in the tenth round of the draft, specifically. It never made it to posting.

Among the things that grates on my nerves from a prospect/lingo sense is the overuse of the term “too old.” In some instances, a prospect’s age should be a concern.
