If MLB had not changed the format for the draft Price would likely be a Cub.

The year Price was drafted (2007) the Cubs held the top draft pick in the NL for their horrid 2006 season.. This was the first year that MLB went to total overall record for draft position, instead of alternating between AL and NL for the 1st pick. It would have been the NLs year for the top pick. Instead, we drafted third and picked Vitters.

Oh what may have been.

And it wasn’t Hendry’s fault.

Right, but someone here will probably try to blame him anyway.

Can we partly blame him for Vitters?

feet firmly nailed to the floor of the Tyler Colvin bandwagon...

I still giggled a wee bit

Price is a smart kid – hope he has a long and healthy career… and signs for pennies on the dollar with the Cubs.
