Prospects
Compiled and edited by Outshined One
With the end of the 2009 season and the Arizona Fall League wrapping up, a handful of the NSBB Minor League Forum regulars (Tim, Transmogrified_Tiger, CaliforniaRaisin, Outshined_One, UK, toonsterwu, and craig) got together to have a chat about their personal top 30 prospect lists for the Cubs’ system. In the process, those posters created a composite top 10 list based on a comparison of our lists.
This is part one of a two part article. The first part is the composite top ten prospects list. Each entry will provide an overview and various comments from the chat, which have been edited to fit this format. The second part will cover a number of the prospects who did not make this list, but merited discussion.

Part two of this column will feature various prospects who, for various reasons, missed the cut in North Side Baseball’s compilation Top 10 list. This column will be divided into three parts. The first part will look at prospects who fell into the 11-20 range on the posters’ top 30 lists. The second part will look at the prospects who fell into the 20+ range. The third and final part will have links to each poster’s list.
