Worst Things About the Cubs Top Prospects

The Cubs' minor league system is considered to be the best in baseball. Lately there have been a lot of top prospect lists to go out, and many have said that once the top 100 prospects in baseball go out, the Cubs could have as many as 7 or 8 of the top 100, and that's after Alcantara and Baez are off the boards. Anyway, I'm going to go against my own wishes and include anyone who still has their rookie eligibility, so Jorge Soler will be in there.

Anyway, the point of this is to point out the biggest weakness of each of the Cubs top prospects. This isn't meant to be a negative post, because that's impossible with this group. What I'm going to do is take each of the top 10 position player and pitching prospects in the Cubs organization and say what their biggest negative is. After that I'll do a sentence or two to say what it really means, and spoiler alert, it's usually going to be pretty positive. So, with that, let's go!

This May Hurt, But We're Doing It (and other tidbits)

The Emery (and Trestman) era is over for the Chicago Bears. So, I thought it would be fun (well, not really fun, but informative) to look back at the Phil Emery era and the moves he made, starting with the draft, then going over other major personnel moves. I'll also take a look at all of the other Chicago teams and what's been going on with them.
