I am now working on the Chicago Cubs Top 20 prospect list for 2015.
As is commonly known, the Cubs system is full of prospects. My first run gave me no fewer than 60 players worthy of examination. I have cut this down to 48 and even this bumps up against space/time restrictions. I'd like to cut it back to 45 at most. As always, the hard part is determining which Grade C types to include and finding the balance between ones who may be just role players but are close to the majors (of interest to traditional fantasy owners) and those further away who may have more upside (of interest to Cubs fans or dynasty owners).
