1. Justin Jones, SP: A second-round pick in 2002 out of high school, Jones has a very high ceiling. He throws in the low-90s with an impressive repertoire from the left side. Last season he had a 2.28 ERA and 87/32 K/BB ratio in 71 innings of Low-A. He has a large frame and no glaring weaknesses other than his slight arm injury last season. If healthy, he should be a very good major league starter. ETA: 2006

2. Angel Guzman, SP: Guzman would have ranked number one in the system, but questions about his shoulder from last season pushed him down one spot. Before his injury he threw in the mid-90s with a great curveball and outstanding control. He had a 2.81 ERA and 87/26 K/BB ratio in 89.2 innings of Double-A last season. The 22-year-old Venezuelan has been dominant at all levels where he has pitched and is going to be a great major leaguer if he is able to stay healthy. ETA: 2004

3. Andy Sisco, SP: Sisco is commonly compared to Randy Johnson due to his size and stuff. He throws in the mid-90s with fair control and a decent repertoire. His enormous frame makes him an intimidator on the mound, and his K/9 above 9.0 over the last two years is reminiscent of a dominating pitcher. Of course, the 21-year-old will have to do better than a 3.54 ERA in Low-A and keep his mechanics in check considering his 6'9" frame. ETA: 2006

4. Chadd Blasko, SP: A supplemental first-round pick in 2002, Blasko is extremely polished. He throws in the low-90s with an excellent repertoire and dominated High-A with a 1.98 ERA and 131/43 K/BB ratio in 136.1 innings pitched. It is early, but Blasko looks like he will be a solid starter to settle behind Mark Prior and Kerry Wood. ETA: 2005

5. Ryan Harvey, OF: Chicago's first-round pick in the 2003 draft and the sixth overall pick, Harvey is your typical toolsy outfielder. Based on his early showing, he will have the same problems as most toolsy outfielders. He had six walks and 21 strikeouts in just 51 at-bats at Rookie Level during his debut. Scouts still drool over his potential, and the Cubs really need an offensive prospect like him to work out. ETA: 2007

6. Bobby Brownlie, SP: A first-round pick out of Rutgers in 2002, Brownlie works off of a great curveball and average major league fastball. His control is not great, but it is good enough to get by for now. He had a 3.00 ERA in just over 60 innings at High-A last season. Considering the organizational depth and the fact that Brownlie only has two major league pitches, do not be surprised if he is moved to relief. ETA: 2005

7. Sean Marshall, SP: Marshall is one of those crafty lefties you always hear about. The soft tosser works off of his control, and it worked quite well last season with a 2.59 ERA in Low-A along with an 88/23 K/BB ratio in 73 innings pitched. The 21-year-old sixth-round pick in 2003 projects as a solid fifth starter that knows how to pitch. ETA: 2006

8. Felix Pie, OF: Pie is a future leadoff man if he takes control of his strike zone. The soon-to-be 19-year-old from the Dominican Republic runs very well and hit .285 with 19 steals in Low-A last season. Unfortunately, he also had a 41/98 K/BB ratio last season. His strike zone judgment should determine whether he becomes a starter. ETA: 2006

9. Ricky Nolasco, SP: Nolasco's stuff is not great, but his control does earn that adjective. The 21-year-old had a 2.96 ERA and 136/48 K/BB ratio in 149 innings of Low-A last season. He was very successful in 2002 as well and should become a solid fourth or fifth starter in the majors if he is able to stay healthy. ETA: 2005

10. Brian Dopirak, 1B: We do not often see power of Dopirak's caliber at the age of 19. The 2002 second-round pick hit 15 homers last season between two levels of Low-A ball in just 270 at-bats. With that said, his plate discipline needs improvement. He had a 26/80 BB/K ratio and batted well below .300 at both levels. There is a lot to like here, but Dopirak needs to continue to make progress. ETA: 2006

Other Players Worth Noting:

Brendan Harris, 3B: Harris is a pure hitter and one of the Cubs' better hitting prospects. However, he is not particularly toolsy so he may have to settle for utility man work in the majors.

Luke Hagerty, SP: A first-round pick in 2002 out of Ball State, Hagerty had a dominating debut but was sidelined all of last year due to an arm injury. He should be back in 2004.
