Chicago Cubs have their next Dan Vogelbach on their hands already
The Chicago Cubs dealt prospect Dan Vogelbach out of necessity last summer and already have another prospect with no road to the big leagues.
There was a time when players like Josh Vitters and Brett Jackson represented the Chicago Cubs’ best minor league talent. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case.
Despite most of their young talent making its way to Chicago (Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, Addison Russell, Javier Baez, Willson Contreras, Albert Almora), the team still enjoys a decent amount of prospect depth in the farm system.
But, with it comes an inherent issue: too much position player talent. And, with this, comes roadblocks for younger players trying to crack a big-league roster.
