Heading in to the 2012 campaign, Chicago Cub fans should be excited about the talent they have at the minor league level. They have a couple of top prospects who are already making a major impact in spring training, and Cub fans should not forget these names once the regular season hits.
On Opening Day, the Chicago Cubs have Marlon Byrd penciled in as their starting center fielder, and Bryan LaHair is your starting first baseman. Both of these players deserve to be starters heading into the season; however, if they should struggle out of the gate, the Cubs have two prospects ready to take their positions.
