Which 2 Cubs prospects, one position player and one pitcher, will be the
next to make a big impact in Chicago?
JC: If we're saying "big impact" and not counting guys who have come up to the
Cubs this year, then I think the next guy is Javier Baez. He's probably two
years away from the majors, but he has huge upside with the bat (.300, 30
homers) and has gotten stronger reviews than I expected for his play at
shortstop. I really don't see a pitcher who I'd say would make a huge impact. I
really like Pierce Johnson, their supplemental first-round pick this year, who
has a chance to be a No. 2 starter but more realistically might be a solid No.
3. He's a couple of years away, too.
We all know about the top guys, but which lesser known, under-the-radar
prospect (or prospects) should Cubs fans really keep an eye on?
JC: Arismendy Alcantara never has made the Cubs Top 30 in any of our Prospect
Handbooks, but he's a toolsy shortstop who's playing well in high Class A this
year at age 20. Starlin Peralta is a low Class A righthander with a fastball
that hits 96 mph and the makings of a plus slider.
Whether it's in a good way or bad way, which Cubs prospect(s) surprised you
the most this season?
JC: Brett Jackson losing his decent control of the strike zone really surprised
me. I once had high hopes for Trey McNutt, but now he clearly looks like a
reliever to me. On the positive side, as I mentioned before, I've been
surprised at the reviews Baez has gotten for his play at shortstop.
Other than 1st pick Albert Almora, which pick(s) should Cubs fans get
really excited about in the 2012 draft?
JC: Johnson would have gone in the bottom half of the first round if he hadn't
strained his forearm and missed a couple of starts. I also liked the high
school pitching they got with the three picks after Johnson: Paul Blackburn,
Duane Underwood and Ryan McNeil. Among the late-round sleepers, I like
16th-round righthander Mike Hamann.
If the 2013 draft were held today, which player should the Cubs pick?
JC: They really need pitching so I think they'll take the best college pitcher
on the board, either righthanders Mark Appel (Stanford) or Ryne Stanek
(Arkansas) or lefthander Sean Manaea (Indiana State).
How do you see the Cubs system overall as compared to last year and what
areas still need the most improvement?
JC: It stands out to me as a system with more depth in the lower levels than
the higher levels, especially in terms of pitching. It's going to be a couple
of years before the system can provide much help. There is some upside with
player like Baez, Almora, Jorge Soler and company, but Cubs fans are going to
have to be patient.
