Close to Redundancy: Why the Cubs Should Clean House in Iowa This Winter

Last year in 2014, AAA Iowa was a place where the top prospects in the organization, including Kris Bryant, Javy Baez, Arismendy Alcantara, and Jorge Soler played. This year, Iowa turned into something altogether different. It became more of a storehouse of players who might be needed in case of injury. There were only a few players on the roster who figured into the long term plans of the Cubs. Most of the roster projects as bench players, at best, beyond this year. In a prefect world, the Cubs should clean house at Iowa to make way for several prospects with long term potential.
