Out of all the Cubs’ No. 1 draft picks of the 2010s, the one I thought truly had Hall of Fame talent was Kris Bryant.
For a number of reasons, largely injuries, I don’t think he’s going to get there. But in his six-plus years as a Cub, he surely gave us some Hall-worthy performances.
The Cubs had the No. 2 overall pick in the 2013 draft after a 101-loss year in 2012. Can you imagine what the last six Cubs seasons would have been like if the Astros, picking first, had taken Bryant instead of Mark Appel?
