This morning The Athletic's Keith Law released his minor league rankings, and buckle up, Cubs' fans.
According to Law, Chicago's farm system ranks 28th out of 30 teams – only the Washington Nationals and the Milwaukee Brewers (it could be worse!) were below them. Here's Law's rationale:
The Cubs’ drafts have just been fair the past few years, and they’ve fared especially poorly when they reversed course and tried to draft pitching high rather than going for the certainty of position players. Yet their system is still mostly guys they drafted with just a smattering of prospects from Latin America.
