Often, I’ve had my introduction ready before the college baseball week begins. As I listened to Max Ferguson and Tennessee walk-off Tennessee Tech on Tuesday, I had no introduction yet. Fortunately, a mock draft that initially tweaked me served as a perfect opportunity for an introduction. Two of the best, Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo, mocked the first 20 picks. With the Cubs sitting at 21, this is a decent shot for me to give you the why on my “next five” coming off of their mock.
I remain rather steadfast in my belief that if you want your draft opinion to be of any concern to anyone, do whatever you consider your prep work to be before the draft.
