Based on multiple tweets. The VWL might halt games.

Good news on hard slotting but hopefully this cap idea doesn't gain traction (I can't imagine it will for the same reason hard slotting didn't catch on):

Brett Jackson comes in at 8 as the only Cub:

Once again, no real surprises here: 1 Cub made the list - Brett Jackson at #4. Jackson was ranked ahead of Jarrod Parker, Arodys Vizcaino and Randall Delgado. Chris Archer came in at 11.

Matt Szczur was the only Cub to crack the list at 8. Hak-Ju Lee was #3.

Matt Szczur come in at #9:

:)

The list won't be out till Monday but Jim Callis offered up a hint on Twitter: The 2 are probably Gioskar Amaya and Marco Hernandez. I wonder who the 3 who missed the cut are. Some guesses: Neftali Rosario, Oliver Zapata, Hunter Ackerman or Dustin Geiger?

Got this from Arizona Phil: At this point, I'd add Jeff Beliveau, Steve Clevenger (and say bye to Koyie Hill), Ryan Flaherty, Marwin Gonzalez, Matt Szczur and Josh Vitters. Obviously, this could change as players emerge the rest of the season.
