June 14, 20178 yr http://m.mlb.com/news/article/236343488/ml...-well-on-day-2/ In one of the bigger surprises on Day 2, Chicago was able to land Texas Christian catcher Evan Skoug (No. 48) in the seventh round. An offensive-minded backstop, Skoug overcame a dreadful start to share Big 12 Conference Player of the Year honors and lead the Horned Frogs to their fourth consecutive College World Series appearance. New Mexico outfielder Luis Gonzalez (third round, No. 106) is a gifted hitter and on-base machine. Louisville's Lincoln Henzman (fourth, No. 162), South Carolina's Tyler Johnson (fifth, No. 97) and Oklahoma's J.B. Olson (10th, unranked) are accomplished college relievers who should move quickly. Another Louisville righty, Kade McClure (sixth, unranked) could become a steady starter. You can see Twins cleaned up on Prep players. Much more possible at #1 and with a comp pick. We'll see a different draft I'm guessing with a top 3 pick (fingers crossed)

June 14, 20178 yr Author I'm excited to follow Abbott but we are talking about a big long shot. More polished HS 1b with big power like Zangari are long shots. If he makes it to the majors in any capacity that is incredible scouting.

They are already talking about him as a two year rookie ball guy. He has a LONG road ahead of him.
