Q&A

Who do you see the Giants getting?

Giants are in an interesting spot. Oklahoma Peyton Graham is an option I like in the first, but I also see Spencer Jones if he falls. I like Maier, Hubbart, or Palmquist at 66. Super interesting pick considering they pick 30th.

Could Lee fall to the Cubs?

Yes. Yes he could.

Who do the Cubs take in the 2nd Round?

If you’re a Cubs fan, and you care about being realistic, I’d want Dalton Rushing, Tyler Locklear, or John Kasevich.

Most MLB ready prospect?

Jace Jung, Ivan Melendez, Zach Neto, and maybe even Kumar Rocker fit here for me.

Who is the first college pitcher off the board?

A week ago, I would’ve said Cooper Hjerpe. Now it’s probably Cade Horton
