It’s important to note that a month does not necessarily translate into a good full season. With that being said, it is always good to start the season off on a high note, especially if you want to fast track your rise to the majors.

These prospects listed, as well as many others, represent the future of Cubs baseball. You may say that the youngsters at the major league level represent the future of the franchise, and you would be right. However, players like Ian Happ and Dylan Cease will provide the Cubs with some depth if injuries or trades occur during the course of the next few seasons.
