Jim Callis, on his way to a Chicagoland studio to participate in ESPN’s draft coverage, reports the Royals appear to have settled on Mike Moustakas with the No. 2 overall pick. That would slide Josh Vitters to the Cubs at No. 3. The Royals looked like they were on Vitters at 2 last night, but they now have changed their minds. Indiana prep righty Jarrod Parker is the odd man out in this scenario, dropping from the Cubs at 3, probably to the Diamondbacks at 9 or Giants at 10. He won’t get past the Marlins at 12. This leaves the Orioles as the biggest question mark in the first five picks. Stay tuned.

The Cubs make no sense — last year a major reach, this year taking a chance on a high school hitter who is not considered by anyone a lock superstar. Meanwhile the every day catcher for the next 10 years goes elsewhere.
