Can I interest you in five top-100-ish Chicago Cubs prospects?
FanGraphs updated its top 100 prospect list, which includes more than 100 prospects because of their grading cutoff, and five Cubs prospects show up:
Pete Crow-Armstrong, who fell for reasons discussed earlier (and which I don’t really buy), is now ranked 29th. Kevin Alcántara is 75th, Ben Brown is 87th, Hayden Wesneski is 91st, and Cristian Hernández is 108th.
It’s nice to see Brown finally getting some deserved top-100 love, though it seems odd to me that Cade Horton doesn’t show up as a 50 FV (i.e., top-118). Wesneski figures to be graduated pretty soon, even as he’s headed back to Iowa for now.
