Tracking the MLB draft is a mindset. It’s a draft that few bother with. After all, it’s fraught with guessing wrong, and having to wait. The catcher (Steve Chilcott) drafted before Reggie Jackson in 1966 was a perfectly valid and accepted alternate. Chilcott could have been a very good player in his own right, but for an injury to his throwing arm. Playing if/then gets very tenuous regarding the baseball draft. However, if everything else had played out the same in 2014, the Cubs were one loss from drafting Andrew Benintendi .
