After loading up on pitchers, should Cubs change tactics in this year's MLB Draft? McGrawDHSports Cubs
Last year's Cubs draft was all about pitching. They took pitchers with 16 of their 20 picks, including 13 of the first 14.
"It's hard to find pitching. Pitching isn't as durable as it once was, it's harder to find. We go through more pitchers." "Do we need power bats? Yes," Hoyer said."Is there ever a point where you feel like you have enough pitching? Never. I think that's the hard part is you can't have enough pitching. You just can't.
Hoyer and the Cubs used the"under slot" strategy, which could be in play again this year. In today's MLB, every team gets a pool of money it can spend to sign its draft picks. Teams that draft higher get larger draft pools. So that could happen again. But plenty of logic suggests the Cubs are more likely to take a position player.
