  • Chicago Cubs Draft History By: WISCGRAD
    Chicago Cubs Draft History By: WISCGRAD During the 1964 winter meetings, major league teams voted on the draft. Initially four teams opposed the idea, the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, New York Mets, and St. Louis Cardinals. In the end only the Cardinals voted against the proposal and in 1965 Major League Baseball held its inaugural First-Year Player Draft, also known as the Rule 4 Draft. Initially there were three phases to the draft: a June phase for those college and high school athletes who had just graduated, an August Legion phase for those athletes who completed amateur summer leagues, and a January phase for those high school and college athletes who graduated in the winter. The August phase lasted only two years, and the January phase was terminated after 1986. The Chicago Cubs did not draft a single player in either of the two August drafts, but have participated in each January and June draft since their inception. In analyzing the draft history of the Cubs I have grouped all January and June selections of the same year, following how the data is organized at Baseball Cube. In total there have been 43 distinct draft years for the Chicago Cubs organized by nine different general managers. John Holland presided over the Cubs first 11 drafts. After the brief one-year reign of Salty Saltwell, Bob Kennedy manned the next five drafts, and Dallas Green (1982-1987), Jim Frey (1988-1991), and Larry Himes (1992-1994) followed. The second half of the 1990s was overseen by Ed Lynch.
