About this episode
On the second of our Prospect Deep Dives, Geoff Pontes and JJ Cooper take a look at the Chicago Cubs farm system. It's perfect timing, as we get a chance to analyze the Cubs-Marlins Edward Cabrera/Owen Caissie trade.

(16:00) Who do we think will be the No. 1 prospect a year from now?
(25:00) What do the Cubs do well in development?
