Soto and Vitters Among BP's Top 100 Prospects

Baseball Prospectus's minor league guru Kevin Goldstein has posted his top 100 prospects in baseball. Just two Cubs show up on the list, one of whom made an impact on the 2007 big league club and the other the Cubs' #1 draft pick in 2007:

37. Geovany Soto
45. Josh Vitters

Goldstein's top two Cubs matches John Sickels'.

(I assume that Felix Pie no longer qualifies as a prospect.)

ZiPS projects Soto to hit a robust .284/.342/.483 in 2008.

More information about the players from BP will be available in Baseball Prospectus 2008.

Sickels Names His Top 20 Cubs' Prospects

John Sickels names his to 20 Cubs' prospects. No one garners an A. The top two are 1st round draft pick Josh Vitters and 2008 catcher Geovany Soto.

Two Cubs in Bryan Smith's Top 75 Prospects List

Baseball Analysts' Bryan Smith has posted his top 75 prospects list, and the two Cubs with food product last names (at least if you ignore pronounciation) make an appearance: Felix Pie at #34 and Donald Veal at #47. (Hat tip: The Detroit Tiger Weblog.) Just two players -- and no honorable mentions -- is a bit disappointing. It's a good thing the Cubs have money to burn.
