The Cubs 2012 Composite Top 10 Prospect List (version 2.0)

With the Super Bowl now over, I thought it would be a good time to update the Cubs 2012 Composite Top 10 Prospect List.  This is version 2.0, for which two new lists have been added to the mix:  Minor League Ball and MLB Prospect Portal.  You can check out the links to these and the other 8 sites on the Cubs Composite Top 10 Prospects Page.

Here is the updated list:

2012 Composite Top Prospects
			Total	Hi	Low
	Rank	Name	Pts	Rank	Rank
	1	Brett Jackson	107	1	2
	2	Javier Baez	102	1	2
	3	Matthew Szczur	77	3	8
	4	Trey McNutt	60	4	NR
	4	Dillon Maples	58	4	NR
	6	Josh Vitters	33	5	NR
	6	Welington Castillo	32	3	NR
	8	Daniel Vogelbach	26	6	NR
	9	Jeimer Candelario	23	5	NR
	10	Junior Lake	23	4	NR
	Others earning points:
	Chris Carpenter (16), Benjamin Wells (14), Rafael Dolis (8), Reggie Golden (6), Zeke DeVoss (5), Jae-Hoon Ha (3), Pin-Chieh Chen (3), Dae-Eun Rhee (3), Austin Kirk (2), Anthony Zych (2), Marco Hernandez (2), Ronald Torreyes (1) .

Note:  Although the latest lists included Anthony Rizzo, I have excluded him from the Top 10, as all the other lists did not include him and thus his ranking would be artificially low.  For what its worth, both Minor League Ball and MLB Prospect Portal ranked Rizzo as the Cubs second best prospect (behind Jackson).

Finally, I may have one more update before the start of the season as two other sites are expected to post top 10 prospect lists for the Cubs.  However, they are moving kind of slow, so there is no guarantee that they will finish before the start of the season.
