3. OF Owen Caissie
Outfielder Owen Caissie is finally getting some national recognition this year. MLB has the Canadian native ranked 64th on the top 100 prospects list and Baseball America awarded him the team's minor league player of the year honor.
Caissie saw a power surge as a member of the Tennessee Smokies this year with 31 doubles and 22 home runs. With 84 RBI and 76 walks, Caissie also showed clutch hitting and plate discipline as he ascended to the no. 3 ranked Cubs prospect. But at 21 years old, there is plenty of time for Caissie to improve on his defensive flaws.
Although the Cubs could use a left-handed power bat in their lineup, Caissie probably won't be ready to help the team compete next year and even if he was, there isn't room for him in the outfield. Using him as trade bait would be a smart move considering the outfield depth the Cubs have right now.
