With a few exceptions like Grant Johnson and EP, it's my top 30 list minus the guys who are already on the 40 man. Man, that is scary. How many roster spots do you think will open up? Based on how things are right now, these are the guys I think the Cubs must protect: Sean Marshall, Billy Petrick, Felix Pie, Brian Dopirak and Matt Murton. This is a good point. I'd guess many other teams don't have this many quality players eligble for the draft if they're not protected and many of the more talented minor leaguers have just had less than 4 years in the system.
