Dear South Bend Cubs, Myrtle Beach Pelicans, and Eugene Emeralds Fans,
Your pitching staffs will be stacked in 2016.
Sincerely,
Todd and Teddy
While the upper minors do have a few starting pitching prospects who could help the Cubs in the next year or two, the lower minors are stacked with a variety of arms. There are about 23 pitchers who could make some noise on their way up the ladder in the next few years. Most of them are 19 to 20 years old and filled with piss and vinegar (not to mention talent) in their arms.
