Arguably the biggest staple of the Theo Epstein era on the North Side of Chicago has been the team’s near-constant revolving door of prospects making their way to Wrigley Field. Perhaps, more importantly, is the regular success these guys have had, including the likes of Ian Happ, Willson Contreras, Javier Baez, Kyle Schwarber and Albert Almora.
But we’ve forgotten that’s not how things usually go. Prospects are far more hit-or-miss than we’ve come to see with the Cubs. As for Chicago, there is no one who embodies that more than right-handed pitcher Jen-Ho Tseng.
