Here's a cross-section of views on how the Chicago organizations will approach the MLB Draft:
Keith Law, ESPN.com
No. 8 White Sox: Gordon Beckham, SS, Georgia
(O)ne of the college arms could be a sleeper pick here.
No. 19 Cubs: Casey Kelly, SS/P, Sarasota H.S. (Fla.)
The Cubs' scouting director, Tim Wilken, always has favored multi-sport stars, and Kelly is committed to Tennessee to play quarterback. He also knows Kelly's dad (Pat) from their time together in Toronto.
