Cubs have 2 prospects showing up on Baseball America’s “Ten Exciting Prospects Making Their Full Season Debuts in 2023” list. I don’t know the rankings but it’s Christian Hernandez and Cade Horton. Paywalled article: www.baseballamerica.com/stories/ten-exciting-prospects-making-their-full-season-debuts-in-2023/Seems there is a lot of positive belief in Horton and his skill set and maturity, but scouts want to see him actually perform against better competition than college ball before they really start solidifying an opinion on him. Would be pretty awesome to see him make big waves in the first half of the season ahead.

Would be pretty awesome to see him make big waves in the first half of the season ahead. Jim Callis said he was trying to squeeze Horton in his top 100 but couldn't , not because of his abilities, but because of there just being other guys at this point that have some game stats behind them to better judge them. And I think i read something about a fantasy baseball future top prospects and I think it was geared at 2025 I want to say , and Christian Hernandez was predicted to be the Cubs #1 prospect at that time.

Nice , and good to see Hayden getting some props ! "We’ve now seen a whopping eight individual prospects named on top-100 lists (the above four, plus Brennen Davis, Matt Mervis, Owen Caissie, and Jordan Wicks), with numerous others seen as awfully close" (Horton, Brown, Canario, Palencia, Kilian, Ferris)". After one of the greatest MiLB seasons ever, this year is going to be at another level.

After one of the greatest MiLB seasons ever, this year is going to be at another level. Especially with a lot of the talent now reaching AA where we can start to get a better read on them . And finally seeing some of last seasons draft picks and past younger IFA signings playing in leagues that the stats count

Cade Horton made the Prospects Live top 100 prospects list. That makes 9 different cub prospects to make different publications top 100 prospects list.

Wait until this time next year , it could be interesting how many more there are. Mervis , Wesneski and possibly maybe Davis are the only ones who might drop off because they'll be in the majors long enough by then to lose prospect status..

I don’t know anything about his defensive capabilities but at worst he could be a fun plot twist for us at DH if the outfield remains kinda sorta crowded.

That could explain why he lost command of the strike zone which he'd usually been excellent with. He said it was affecting his landing , but not to the point of pain where he felt he could not keep playing, But any little thing like that which can alter your delivery isn't exactly a little thing when it comes to pitching.

And when guys do it over three levels in a season it's even more impressive because it's not like they were just better than a league they were playing in. The ankle injury looked the nastiest, but the shoulder is the one that worries me more. Hopefully he recovers and has no issues.

Canario posted on IG yesterday that he is back on the field!!
The Cubs still going to take him very slow but he might be back sooner than expected, I wonder if May return is possible, anyhow this is great news to hear!

Box score from Cubs-Dbacks yesterday is wrong, Canario did not appear in game. It was Jordan Nwogu who entered. His minor-league jersey number was same as Canario's big-league camp assigned number so it was incorrectly announced in-game as Canario.

Totally aware of that situation, I was just sharing that Canario appears to be ahead of his recovery per his post on Instagram and at least taking the field in some way (likely light stuff) He is nowhere close to getting into games at all but some hope that he could be back sooner around Late May or Early June now.

Misread your post. That's great news. I thought the best case was June 1st most likely July 1st.

New update, Canario is now confirming he is not on the field yet and his post was a mistake but hoping to make it back soon. So we can put that timeline back to late June to Early July again but at least there is no setbacks and etc. which is good.
