We're on the eve of draft pick deadline. Of the cubs top 25 picks only Layne Looney(19th round out of richmond) is uncommitted with Hunter Taylor out of south caralonia having indicated he may sign but hasn't yet. Everyone else is signed. Of the rest 26th and 27th round picks Julian Boyd and Niels Stone are uncommitted either way as is 35th round pick Edmond Americaan. 28th round pick Mitchell Parker looks like he wont sign as does 33rd round pick Tyler Ras, and all 36-40(Jacob Campbell, Anthony Vilar, Chase Hanson and the last 2 guys who i don't think were even really "prospects" but rather feel good stories in Pierson Gibis and Itamar Steiner).
In theory the cubs still have about $80k slot money they can spend but Weber didn't come in as cheap as I thought and was actually over slot. So, some of the uncommitted guys may still sign. My guess is they have offers to these guys and when a guy like Parker finally shuts them down you might have more money to push other guys.
This may be my last post on all this given we're basically done. But for those curious, money is generally the best way to see how teams view talent rather than how they were picked. So, these are how the cubs stack their draft
