Yesterday, the Cubs selected high school outfielder Albert Almora with their first pick (No. 6 overall).  It sounds like Almora isn't in any hurry to come to an agreement with the Cubs as he has a scholarship to the University of Miami and says, "My main priority now is college.  I just graduated high school and I have a full scholarship to the University of Miami, and that's all I'm looking forward to right now."  Almora's agent is Scott Boras, who has a history of playing hardball.  We'll see what happens.

The Cubs also selected Missouri State right-handed pitcher Pierce Johnson (No. 43 overall) and high school right-handed pitcher Paul Blackburn (No. 56 overall) yesterday.

Tonight the Cubs will play the first game of a three-game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee at 7:10pm CT.  Ryan Dempster will start for the Cubs and try for his first win of the season.  Let's hope Dempster will get some run support from his teammates.
