Saunders - good numbers last year across multiple levels. Good athlete.

Rusin - looking pretty good this spring. May even make the team. Should be worth a vote I think.

Andreoli - very high OBP guy. Lots of walks. Steals a lot of bases though needs to up his success rate a bit.

Hendricks Jokisch Contreras.

 

Hendricks, Jokisch, advanced limited-stuff-but-interesting-results guys. (Loosen, Kirk, and Rusin were also in mind).

 

Rusin has a fair chance to make the team in April, and to pitch a fair bit for the Cubs this year. But being on the team and actually being desirable, that's different. Hopefully he will become good.

 

Contreras because he's a catcher. Here we are at 45 and we're only thinking about getting a catcher on... The draft scouts must be looking hard at the catchers this spring.
