IT'S DRAFTY

A look at the 1st round picks of the Cubs and Sox since 1990 from the AP. The number is their first round slot; h-from high school; c-from college. The Sox have exactly zero of their picks onthe major league club, including the players they traded for with the picks, like Todd Ritchie, etc. The Cubs have Patterson, Prior and Wood. Dougie G was decent in '97 and then had 204 hits for the Phils in '99. I think you have to say Cubs have had better 1st rounders.
