Farm System

[Clapp]

Regarding Law's rankings as Clapp mentioned Bryant #8, Baez #9 are the only Cubs in the top 25 with Almora and Soler receiving  honorable mentions.

 

 

Yeah Almora has four walks and a .631 OPS in A-ball, Soler has not been able to stay healthy, etc. CJ Edwards is also hurt of course. So I don't know if they'd have a perceived top-40 guy even now... we'll see what other publications/evaluators think as more midseason lists will be out soon.

 

I personally may have Alcantara as the No. 3 prospect in the system right now as crazy as that may sound. .839 OPS right now in Triple-A, switch-hitting middle infielder, speed (10 SB/2 CS), extra-base hits (5 HR, 14 2B, PCL-Leading 7 3B), and he's still just 22. If the other guys I mentioned were playing well or healthy, I may feel differently, but right now I feel better about Alcantara than anyone outside of Baez and Bryant. I think he's going to be the first one up too.
