From David Ross’ time as a Cubs baseball operations special assistant, he remembers how much fun he had on his first day of draft preparation meetings.
“I loved hearing the scouts, and all the front office guys, and the [research and development department] dissecting these guys and what they could and couldn’t do, and start organizing the names,” the manager said Thursday. “And then the first day ended, and we had three days left.
“And I was like, ‘We’ve got three more days of that? No thanks.’”
Cubs vice president of scouting Dan Kantrovitz and his team are in the midst of that process now.
