With the Super Bowl now over, I thought it would be a good time to update the Cubs 2012 Composite Top 10 Prospect List. This is version 2.0, for which two new lists have been added to the mix: Minor League Ball and MLB Prospect Portal. You can check out the links to these and the other 8 sites on the Cubs Composite Top 10 Prospects Page.
Here is the updated list:

We're just gonna go with what we know. Continuing our preview of the National League Central, here is a sneak peak at the 2012 Chicago Cubs.

A bit of surprising news coming off of the North Side today, as the Cubs did even more retooling of their roster, with these moves relating specifically to the infield.
With speculation that he could be traded or released, it came as no surprise when the Cubs designated infielder Blake DeWitt for assignment on Monday.

The Chicago Cubs continued their efforts to makeover their roster by claiming Adrian Cardenas from the Oakland A's and designating Blake DeWitt for assignment.
Cardenas, who ranked as high as #74 on Baseball America's 2009 Top 100 prospect list, is no longer considered a top prospect. However, at age 24, he still has some upside and is a career .303/.368/.413 hitter...

The Cubs claimed infielder Adrian Cardenas off waivers today from the Oakland A's, where he was outrighted to make room for Johnny Gomes. To make room on the 40-man, the Cubs DFA'd Blake DeWitt.

The Chicago Cubs have long been connected to Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes this winter, but last week, they came to terms with another Cuban free agent, 19-year-old left-hander Gerardo Concepcion.
Concepcion flew under the radar for the majority of the offseason. The focus has been on the higher ceiling Cubans, which left much of the baseball community slackjawed at the $7M price...

The Chicago Cubs essentially swapped out utilitymen today by claiming former Oakland Athletics minor leaguer Adrian Cardenas, and designating Blake DeWitt for assignment.
DeWitt was actually a former top Dodgers prospect, OPSing .728 in his rookie year of 2008 while starting at third base. He spent most of 2009 in AAA, and in 31 games as a bench player in the majors, he OPSed just...
