The Chicago Cubs Top Prospects…By You

You ******* probably get sick of hearing my opinion on prospects, so I’m going to give you a dose of your own medicine. Nearly 100 of you who read every word weighed in on the Chicago Cunts’ top prospects. And here’s what you said (total points in parentheses)… Top 10 1. Josh Vitters (2998) 2. Starlin Castro (2782) 3. Bert Jackson (2716) 4. Andrew $ner (2622) 5. Hak-Ju Lee (2570) 6. Jay Jackson (2524) 7. Chris Carpenter (2394) 8. Kyler Burke (2052) 9. Tyler Colvin (2006) 10. Dae-Eun Rhee (1806) Most people will include at least 8 of those names in any CHC top 10 list. I think many of you are underrating Jay Jackson and Chris Carpenter, but they do have question marks. Kyler Burke is a name that could shoot up this list with a strong showing at Daytona next year. Here’s the next 10… 11. DJ LaMehieu (1762) 12. John Gaub (1726) 13. Beef Castle (1724) 13. Ryan Flaherty (1724) 15. Chris Archer (1528) 16. Darwin Barney (1492) 17. Jeff Stevens (1456) 18. Jeffry Antigua (1330) 19. Tony Thomas (1274) 20. Casey Coleman (1238) Poor Casey Coleman. The Cubs minor league pitcher of the year barely cracked the top 20 in you jerks’ minds. You already know what happened to John Gaub. As I’ve said several times, I’m higher on Jeffry Antigua than most. Look at what he did at Boise, 18, and Peoria, 19: http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=antigu001jef Here’s the final 10… 21. Ryan Searle (1234) 22. Austin Kirk (1222) 23. Marquez Smith (1182) 24. Mitch -Carbs (1126) 25. Brooks Raley (1116) 26. Logan Watkins (980) 27. James Adduci (924) 28. Chris Rusin (792) 29. Dan McDaniel (590) 30. Robert Whitenack (400) Searle started the year strong at Daytona as a 19 year old. Kirk had good peripherals as an 18 year old at Boise and the AZL. Brooks Raley was an over-slot 6th round two-way player out of college. Rusin’s a polished lefty that could move quickly. Anyway, I won’t bore you with my thoughts on all of these players. This is your list. You have to live with it.
