Blame Theo...he never goes for needs, he always takes the best player available.What the **** were the Cubs thinking? It should have been a pitcher... and it should have been Nola.
What can you tell me about Michael Chavis, JP?
Awesome sounds like a well rounded player who might be able to play anywhere we need him. That last sentence makes me believe he will get along very well with Mr. Dustin Pedroia.Scouting Report:
As many of the toolsy high school position players raise questions about their hitting ability, the players that teams are confident will hit have moved up draft boards, and Chavis is one of the better bats in the class. He has a chance to go in the first round, a testament to his consistency as a 5-foot-10, 192-pound righthanded hitter. Chavis has tremendous strength through his hands and wrists and produces plus bat speed from a short, compact stroke. He hit consistently on the showcase circuit, including sending a 94 mph fastball from Touki Toussaint right back up the box at East Coast Pro. He has plus raw power that translates to game action. Currently a high school shortstop, Chavis will likely move off the position as a pro. Third base remains his most likely destination because of his first-step quickness, body control and above-average arm. Catching is an option and he has the necessary physical attributes, but he has spent limited time behind the plate. He has slightly above-average speed that will likely settle in around average with his strong, compact build. The Clemson commit is a high-effort, gamer who endears himself to scouts with his style of play, and scouts lauded his work ethic.
NolaWho does everyone think will make it to the bigs first - Rodon or Nola?
Gatewood is a great get for Milwaukee. Say that 5 times fast.
