After consulting ten different highly respected sources on this topic, I have compiled their votes into a master top 10 list of Cub prospects. I used the voting system similar to what baseball uses for the awards. A first place vote received 10 points and went down the line with a 10th place vote receiving 1 point. With that being said, here are the participants:
- Top Prospect Alert – (View Site)
- John Sickels – (View Site)
- Baseball America – (View Site)
- Baseball Prospectus – (View Site)
- Baseball HQ – (View Site)
- Project Prospect – (View Site)
- Jonathan Mayo – (View Site)
- Bleed Cubbie Blue – (View Site)
- The Cub Reporter – (View Site)
- Road to Wrigley – (View Site)
A big thanks goes out to all of the participants for taking the time to either post their top 10 lists on their sites or e-mailing them to me directly. With that, here are your top 10 prospects in the system, with first place votes in parenthesis.
- Geovany Soto (4) – 86 points
- Josh Vitters (4) – 84 points
- Tyler Colvin (1) – 74 points

Great series Joe! Thanks for all your hard work.
Joe, just linked this at Road to Wrigley. I agree with Jacki, this has been fun to follow.
While I try to maintain an air of ungracious and non-grateful aloofness whenever possible, I too commend you on your hard work.
Excellent stuff Joe.
Thank you!!!
