I think Rivera has 1 year of eligibility remaining if he wants to use it. Good selection! Good bat, decent power and speed, and a strong defender with a strong arm.

I miss DDEVONB analysis and web site this time of the year. I just found out that he passed away June 2022.

That stinks, it has been a long time since he posted on here and hoping his passing was not the reason. HE was a good poster and would be very happy to finally say " I told you so" on the Cubs pitching development. RIP DDEVONB!!

9th Round, Jonathan Long, 21 YO, 1B/3B, Cal State - Long Beach
From Future Stars site, top 500 prospects (Long was rated #469): "After two impressive seasons at LBSU, Long got the invite to the Cape this past summer and really impressed. He possesses a reasonably polished hit tool, but the raw power is plus and he has a steady approach at the plate with a discerning plan of attack. Long has split time between third base at school and first base for Yarmouth-Dennis. He's a fairly average athlete, though his first-step quickness has led some evaluators to suggest his future is likely in left field or at first base."

Significant deviations between the Cub picks and pipeline rankings seem to indicate that the front office had established its own priorities based on independent research, needs and risk tolerance. Let's hope they got much right.

Let's hope they got much right. I read a statistical analysis of the draft once, but the gist of what I read said that pretty much everything after the very top tier players is pretty much a crap shoot. I do admit to a tiny bit of head-scratching though.
