With the recent acquistions of Robbie Erlin, Joe Weiland, and a PTBL coming soon from Pittsburgh... You have to think they're in good shape going forward after this season.... They'll likely have a top 5 or certainly 10 pick in next June's draft as well.

Graduates :  LHP Corey Luebke, 2B Logan Forsythe, LHP Josh Spence!!! , ? Kyle Blanks....

1. Anthony Rizzo -1B    B

2. Casey Kelly -RHP    B

3. Robbie Erlin -LHP    B                        (probably could be viewed as "B+" by many)

4. Keyvious Sampson -RHP  B

5. Joe Weiland  -RHP    B

6. Cody Spangenburg ("11 10th overall)  -3B/2B     B

7. Reymond Fuentes  -OF    B

8. Jedd Gyorko  -3B               B

9. James Darnell    (*only down this far because he's a COF)       B-

10. Donavan Tate  -OF                         B-

11. Joe Ross ('11 25th overall)  - RHP              B-

12. Jaff Decker  -OF/DH/1B   (not sure but think they should give 1B a try)  B-

13. Juan Oramas -LHP      B-   (excellet lefty, probably about ready for AAA too)

14. Michael Kelly  ("11 suppl. Rd.)             C+
15. Simon Castro  -RHP  (should still end up being Solid bullpen arm)     C+

16. Matt Lollis  -RHP            C+

17. Rymer Liriano  -OF           C++

18. Blake Tekotte  -OF            C+

19. Jace Peterson ("11 suppl. Rd.)        C+

20. Jonathan Galvez  -2B         C+   ,   (ould go with Hunter, Hagerty, Brach, Barbato, Cumberland, or Rincon too)

And I'm sure I'm missing someone.  Any suggestions please speak up....and I'll slot 'em in the list.

What a system now!!!  - Arizona's, Seattle's , St Louis s systems all took a step forward this year but none larger than San Diego's possibly....   + the Draft definately helped.
