Chicago Cubs Top 10 Prospects For 2012
1. Brett Jackson: RF/CF Former #1 pick has solid skills across the board, should hit 20-25 HR's per season, can play center or right field. So long Tyler Colvin. (Iowa AAA)
2. Javier Baez: 3B/SS The Cubs #1 pick in 2011. Baez is compared to Gary Sheffield & Hanley Ramirez (like those two, he also has attitude concerns.) A possible impact talent. (Boise A)
3. Matt Szczur: CF One of the Cubs top outfield prospects, can do a bit of everything. Played in 2011 futures game.(Daytona A)
4. Trey McNutt: RHP Power arm who struggled in 2011, he should make it to AAA in 2012. (Tennessee AA)
5. Dillon Maples: RHP Middle of the rotation potential, has yet to play pro ball.
6. Wellington Castillo: C Solid catching prospect, who could push Soto in Chicago. (Cubs 2011)
7. Rafael Dolis: RHP Blazing fastball, most likely will be in the bullpen with Cubs (Tennessee AA)
8. Junior Lake: SS Exciting potential, Lake performed well in the Arizona Fall League. Has speed, power and a rocket arm. Might eventually move to outfield. (Tennessee AA)
9. Josh Vitters: 3B/1B Former #1 pick Vitters is running out of time with Cubs. Had a solid season in 2011 at AA Tennessee. Possibly a trade chip.
10. Dan Vogelbach: 1B Vogelbach is a slow first basemen, with so called "light tower" power, ala former Cubs prospect/bust Brian Dopirak.
Bubbling under: Reggie Golden OF
