Cubs pick another shortstop

It's funny how many shortstops the Cubs have picked in the first round since Theo & Company arrived. Their theory is these are the best athletes, and if they are also great hitters, they will turn out to be big time players. They did it again yesterday in the first round of the draft. MLB.com explains the pick...

24. Chicago Cubs: SS Nico Hoerner, Stanford University
I'm a little surprised the Cubs passed on a couple of the college arms that were available here, but Hoerner is an offensive-minded middle infielder with a track record of hitting in college. Those are hard to find, and he should continue to hit at the next level, with good power for his position. A lot of scouts see Hoerner more as a second baseman than a shortstop, but he should definitely be able to stay up the middle.
