2015 Chicago Cubs Top Preseason Prospects
The Cubs have one of the best farm systems in all of baseball and it’s headlined by two very talented players. Kris Bryant and Addison Russell are both future superstars in my eyes and I expect both players to make their debuts in 2015. Bryant is the number two prospect and Russell is ranked fourth on the Fueled by Sports top 50. Russell will probably be looking at a position change if the Cubs decide to keep Starlin Castro. I could see Chicago trading Castro for a starting pitcher to make room for Russell at shortstop, but for now I think they’ll try him out in left field.

★★★★★★ – Superstar player that has the potential to make an instant impact in the Major Leagues. This player is a future MVP or Cy Young Candidate.
★★★★★ – Great player at his respected position. Has the potential to be a number one starter if he’s a pitcher. Has All-Star potential, but isn’t on the superstar level.
★★★★ – A good everyday player, but not on the great level. A good number two or three if he’s a pitcher.
★★★ – Major League potential, but most likely just a bench player or number 4 or 5 starter. A chance they will spend most of their career in the minors.
