Wait for OSFM Rosters
Its much better playing with the real players
Cubs have a great farm so it would prob be quicker to rebuild them

Yeah, Chi has got baez, almora, and soler, who are all A's, idk how they rated jackson, and vizcaino could be great if he isnt hurt. and maples is their only other pitcher, also hurt a ton.

Baez, Almora, Soler, Vizcaino, Vogelbach, Candelario, Jackson, Vitters, and Dolis (develops nicely if trained well)
Not to mention you get the 2nd pick in the draft

Yes...lol....The Cubs farm system is so top-heavy it isn't even funny.

Soler, Almora, and Baez are high-ceiling, high-risk players. At least one of the three will flame out. Guys like Maples, Vogelbach, Vitters, Jackson, etc. all have significant flaws that will keep them from being star caliber players. Jackson might be another David DeJesus (ok at a lot of things, but great at nothing), Vitters will strike out more than Larry Bowa has said "Yeah" in the WBC (that's a lot), Vogelbach is fat and limited athletically, and Maples has had major injuries.

Sorry, as good as Soler, Almora, and Baez could be, that isn't good enough to make them a top 10 system.

Name 10 better farms along with their top 3 prospects

[Denzel Washington]

Also why are you naming Dejesus as if he was a prospect
the man is in his 30's I wouldn't even talk about him

In Manny Machado's age 24 season he hit .326/.388/.636 with 200 hits, 45 HR's, 137 RBI, and 23 SB... He was 1 HR and 3 RBI away from the triple crown, some 22 (!) year old created player hit 47 HR and drove in 140 as a SS...
