Baseball Prospectus' Kevin Goldstein updated his 2012 MLB Draft first round mock on Friday; the Cubs have some very strong interest in prep outfielder Albert Amora, it seems:
6. Chicago Cubs: Albert Amora, OF, Mater Academy (FL)
Pretty much every eyeball in the Cubs front office has been spotted at Almora's late-season games, and his private workout was impressive. One source said this afternoon, "If the Cubs had the No. 1 pick in the entire draft, they might take Almora."
