With the draft upcoming in early June, a few people seem to be over-inflating its importance, while others prefer ignoring it. This is going to be a look at some second round possibilities, and what can or should be expected from those selections.

The “rosy scenario” types are claiming these choices, as well as the one at 98, will suddenly “fix” the Cubs prospect concerns. However, that doesn’t especially align with reality.
