Back in 2008, the Cubs seemingly found their next star in rookie Geovany Soto.

The Chicago Cubs are currently blessed with one of the best catching tandems in baseball with Willson Contreras and Victor Caratini. Contreras now has multiple All-Star appearances with the team and Caratini has shown flashes of greatness at the plate as well. Even in the minors, the organization is loaded with young catching talent.

Yet, neither of their tandem won a Rookie of the Year award despite their success and it is yet to see how the catching prospects will pan out.
