I’m sure I’ll jinx it but the three names I saw a lot of you mention in the other thread(Tanner Witt, Mick Abel, and Cole Wilcox) all still on the board with 8 picks to go before the Tribe at 23
edit: Lol, and the Phillies take Abel at 15 ten seconds after my post

Drat.. Cardinal just took Jordan Walker.. I saw a number of mock draft (including Jeff Ellis having the Tribe select Walker at either #23 or #36). I would have preferred Jordan Walker to tOSU catcher.
I suspect the Tribe takes a pitcher with its 1st round pick..

Carson Tucker
Back in 2014, Cole Tucker was a bit of a surprise first-round pick out of Mountain Pointe High School in Arizona and he became one of four Mountain Pointe products to make it to the big leagues when he debuted with the Pirates in 2019. His younger brother, Carson, hopes to join them, and though he's a different player and personality than his older brother, he was enjoying a similar rise up Draft boards thanks to a very strong early spring. While more reserved than Cole, Carson has the chance to join his brother as a big league caliber shortstop. At the plate, the right-handed hitter displays excellent bat control and bat speed over power, though he showed added strength this season. He??s often content to push the ball the other way and to the right-center field gap, though the ball does jump off his bat. He began showing he can turn on balls and drive them to his pull side more consistently, helping his profile. Tucker has the feet and hands to play shortstop long-term, even though he??s an average runner. He has average arm strength, though his throws have good carry and he shows the ability to change arm action and slots as is needed for the premium position. Showing more consistency on the defensive side, along with the aforementioned gains at the bat, are why Tucker's stock took a leap forward this spring, making a stronger case for a team to sign him away from his commitment to the University of Texas.

MLB broadcast team talked about how due to Covid19 instead of playing his senior season of HS, he’s been able to work out the past three months with his Major League brother and some of his major league friends.
