Third Base – Kris Bryant
There is not much to say about Kris Bryant other than the fact that he is really, really, really good. Bryant landed in Chicago as the No.2 overall pick in the 2013 MLB Draft. The rest is history.
In the short span of time which Bryant has been a member of the Chicago Cubs he has a National League Rookie of the Year award, a National League Most Valuable Player award, and is a World Champion. Oh, and he is only 26 years old and is going into just his fourth major league season. Not too shabby.
Imagining Kris Bryant anywhere else, say the Houston Astros, is difficult. Kris Bryant, similar to Anthony Rizzo, has become synonymous to Cubs nation. Bryant finds his place on this roster because he is the best third base prospect the Chicago Cubs have ever had and, overall, one of the best players the Chicago Cubs have ever had. Again, he is just 26 years old.
