Matt Shaw

Who is getting the recognition they deserve? Who's on the right path, even with some early struggles? And who has fallen behind?

Cubs prospects are generating interest from readers, so let's discuss what to expect from some of the organization's top young players.

The Cubs wanted to control Horton's workload in spring, Shaw is working hard on defense and notes on Owen Caissie and Nazier Mulé.

Within the organization, there are high hopes for Caissie and Shaw. The Cubs surely want both to earn their way up. But that time isn't now.

There's an opportunity for Matt Shaw at third base with the Cubs — if he can prove himself at the position.

Billed as one of the deepest first rounds in recent MLB Draft history, there have already been some notable performances in this class.

These dozen prospects just missed the cut on Bowden's top 50 this year but are all intriguing talents who appear to have bright futures.

“My internal timetable is go fail with the best of them as soon as you can,” Shaw said.
