MOD Chicago Cubs #3

by UncleBuck44 on Jun 2, 2007 4:41 PM EDT

I've got all the names ready for the draft tomorrow. I've got a list of the top 50 players and the best player left at 48 will be the pick. From there I've got lists of 10 for each pick and hopefully a couple of names will remain when the picks come up.
I WOULD LOVE IT IF EVERYONE POSTED THEIR OWN 5 PICK MOCK DRAFT.

I am, however, struggling to distinguish the best player at pick #3. Matt Wieters is my #1 but after that I can't decide who is #2 between Vitters and Moustakas.
A lot of publications and a lot of scouts are saying that Moustakas had moved ahead of Vitters because his bat is equally as impressive and he has a better chance of handling the hot corner. Moustakas has put up the monster spring playing in the same area as Vitters who has not put up good numbers. You may say who cares about HS numbers but when players are this close, you've got to use whatever you can find to sift out the best.

I'll put it to you in a vote Edit: Don't vote for Wieters because I'll probably take him if Kansas City doesn't. I want to know who you would take if Kansas City takes Wieters.

without out a doubt

Weiters then Moustakous and a distant third in Vitters

Vitters

Clearly no one really thinks Vitters is worth the 3rd pick and neither do I. Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't get chastised for taking Moustakas over Vitters tomorrow if Wieters isn't around.
Jason Heyward really isn't in the equation for me. I think Moustakas, Vitters and Porcello have better potential.

Now I'm wondering if Rick Porcello is the way to go. Let me get some opinions here.
Hopefully the Royals take Porcello so I can just take Wieters and not have to worry.

Also, don't forget to post your mock drafts.

Draft

Weiters or Porcello, which ever one KC doesn't.

If Clemens and Smoltz face off in a deciding Game 7, we could witness the perfect storm of nonsensical comments from Bravesin07 and NYYLover1000 - gatling

this is a no-brainer

No-brainer? I don't think so

It was a no brainer that the Cubs should take Vitters if Wieters went #2 now Moustakas is said to be better than Vitters and now its Porcello if Wieters goes #2.
Not really much of a no brainer considering that. Not to mention the Cubs aren't great at developing young pitchers.

If you want a no brainer here is a no brainer, the D'Rays should take David Price.
