In the 2016 MLB Draft, the Cubs didn't draft a single player until pick 104 (and I'm not telling you who that was until the end of this article – trivia. yay!). With the possible exception of that 3rd round draft pick, there are exactly zero players that you would expect to rise to the level of "MLB-prospect," and you'd be lucky to get one 5th-arm-out-of-the-bullpen or quad-A bench player out of all of them.
That's what makes what Zack Short is doing all the more remarkable. Drafted in the 17th round, right before Matt Frawley but right after Dillon Drabble, Short profiled as an "organizational filler" guy.
