2003 draft recap - From the Official Chicago Cubs website. (Posted March 24, 2004)

1. Ryan Harvey, OF
.235 BA/ .339 OBP/ .431 SLG

The biggest key for Harvey was getting healthy, recovering from a knee injury. He'll begin to show the Cubs what he's capable of this year, most likely at short-season Boise, though a lights-out spring could land him at Lansing. He's got tremendous power potential and profiles as a future right fielder. He has some holes in his swing, but there's a lot to work with.

2. Jacob Fox, C
.253 BA/ .327 OBP/ .460 SLG

The Cubs didn't have a second-round pick, so Fox was their next selection in the third round. He's an offensive catcher with thump in his bat. He has skills to work with behind the plate, including pretty decent arm strength. The Michigan product got 100 at-bats in Lansing last year and he'll probably head back there.

3. Tony Richie, C
.175 BA/ .266 OBP/ .211 SLG

A tender shoulder allowed the Florida St. catcher to pick up just 57 at-bats after signing last year. Richie is more of a catch and throw guy than Fox, with very good blocking skills. Offensively, he makes contact and uses the whole field. He profiles as a Joe Girardi-type player and could compete for playing time in Lansing with Fox.

4. Darin Downs, LHP
0-2, 6.57 ERA, 38.1 IP, 17 BB, 32 K

Downs is a young left-hander with a high ceiling, who played at 18 in the Arizona League last year. He's got a good feel for pitching, like a young Jamie Moyer with stuff and more velocity. He should grow into his 6-3 frame as he matures. He'll head to extended Spring Training and then head back to Mesa or to short-season Boise.

5.Sean Marshall, LHP
6-6, 2.34 ERA, 80.2 IP, 71 H, 23 BB, 99 K

A 6-foot-5 lefty, whose twin brother is with the Red Sox, Marshall has good command of a fastball, curve and change. His height allows him to pitch on a downhill plane. After pitching well with Boise, he was the final piece to Lansing's championship puzzle. He could go back to the Midwest League to start the year, though there is a chance he'll get pushed up to Daytona.
