Had some time to kill, and I wanted to see what the Cubs had eclipsed in the minors, so I have listed the players who have some of the best statistics for their respective levels.
I have excluded this years draftees both domestic and internationally with the exception of Bryant, and I have left out most of the AAA team because quite frankly, they are in worse shape than the Cubs themselves and older….LOL.
To me, there is a glaring weakness in the catchers position other than Castillo, and the outfield although looking very weak in certain positions could be upgraded via free agency or simply moving a RF’er to LF for example.
The pitching can always be improved, and could definitely get a major bolstering if Theo could land the Cuban Miguel Gonzalez (I expect him to be a major player on this guy).
I am sure I have left off some names like B-Jax or other injured players, but I found it interesting to see just who is pushing who, and how hard.
1B – Rizzo - (Bour, Geiger, Voglebach/Shoulders)
2B - Barney - (Watkins, Alcantara, Amaya)
3B - Valbuena/Ransom – (Vitters, Olt, Villanueva, Bryant, Candelario)
SS - Castro - (Baez, Hernandez, Soto)
LF - Soriano - (Lake, Andreoli, Chen)
CF – DeJesus - (Ha, Szczur, DeVoss, Almora)
RF – Schierholz - (Silva, Soler, Encarnacion)
SP – Shark, Wood, Jackson
AAA (Viscaino, Rusin, Grimm)
AA (Castillo, Beeler, Morris, Hendricks, Cabrera, Jokisch)
A+ (Wells, Cates, Wang, Loosen, Johnson, Edwards)
A - (Pena, Heesch, Paniagua)
Time to start adding long term players via free agency or through trades in my opinion to start balancing this whole thing out.
It will be interesting this off-season to see what direction they will take, and where the main emphasis will be.
I know it will be pitching for sure, but how will they acquire it? opcorn:
