Cubs Outfield Prospect Reggie Golden is Back in Action, and Dan Vogelbach Looks Good (VIDEOS)

And that time actually wasn’t that long ago – Keith Law had Golden in his top ten just last year. But an unfortunately-timed knee injury cost Golden his 2012 season, and he fell off the radar for most folks.

While he was there, Eric (who is the man) also got some video of Dan Vogelbach looking relatively fit and trim, and showing off his swing on a single of his own:
