Keith Law has the Cubs ranked as 10th best MiLB system.
Law has Dodgers’ system ranked as 1, Guardians 2, and Orioles at 3.
Hell, the entire NL Central is ranked in top 13 with Pirates at 6, Brewers at 8, Cardinals at 9 and Reds at 13.
Here’s what Law writes about the Cubs system.
“To be honest, I thought they’d end up higher on the list, but perhaps I was a year early with those expectations, which were mostly built around the group of position players in A-ball and the Arizona Complex League this year, only one of whom, Kevin Alcantara, made my top 100. Most of the others are still interesting prospects with upside remaining but didn’t progress to the point where it would have pushed this system into the top 5. There’s less pitching here, although they bet big on upside with their first pick in 2022, Cade Horton.“
