Good news: at 62-81, the Cubs would need a miracle to lose 100 games.

Bad news: Cubs don't suck enough to have a top 5 pick.

Good news: nobody knows how next year's draft class will shape up but it probably won't be as good as this year's was.

Bad news: watch the Astros or Royals pick a can't miss guy while the Cubs get the scraps.

Good news: this year's draft for the Cubs was much better than the Astros, or anyone else in the division overall.

Bad news: it's going to be 3+ years before most of those guys are remotely ready.

Unless one of them is the next coming of Albert Pujols, we will definitely have to wait a bit.

Cubs currently tied with San Diego. If they finish tied with SD, they will have draft precedence due to previous year's record, and can do no better than the #5 pick in next year's draft.

Reverse Standings (MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com)

For today. If the Cubs win, they will get either the 7 or 8 pick depending on what happens with the Pirates.

If the Cubs lose, then they'll be tied with San Diego and get at least the 6 pick. If Kansas City wins after that, the Cubs will get the 5 pick.
