The Cubs' 2004 season may have gone down in flames, but they finished with consecutive winning records for the first time since 1971-72 and shouldn't stop anytime soon. Their system may be more balanced now than it was in 2002, when pitchers such as Mark Prior and Carlos Zambrano carried it to a No. 1 ranking. Chicago's three best prospects are first baseman Brian Dopirak and outfielders Felix Pie and Ryan Harvey. There's still plenty of pitching as well, with righties Angel Guzman and Billy Petrick and lefties Renyel Pinto and Sean Marshall. Scouting director John Stockstill has done a solid job running the club's last four drafts. The Cubs are aggressive in the draft and pursuing talent on the international market.
