Even with the Chicago Cubs having dipped into their farm system recently, they still have some players who are tearing up the minors

The Chicago Cubs have had some injuries at the major league level in the early stages of this season. In accordance with those injuries, the Cubs were forced to call-up highly touted prospect Ian Happ earlier this month. In addition to Happ, Pierce Johnson, Eddie Butler and Dylan Floro have also been called upon to make appearances this season.

Despite the use of some minor league guys this season, the Cubs still have a deep system.

Now that the month of May is drawing to a close, it is time to take a look at some of the top performing Cubs’ prospects so far this season.
