Baseball's annual first-year player draft took place over the past week. The Cubs selected a lot of players. Some will end up being better players than others. Some won't even sign with the Cubs.
The 50th anniversary MLB draft is now done and dusted and the Cubs stuck to the formula that has been working for them over the past few drafts. Go with hitters early and then go quantity over quality on arms.
