Since June 1, 2015, the Chicago Cubs system received a large infusion of talent. Almost 30 draft picks signed contracts and some began play in rookie and short-season A ball. Two draftees remained unsigned in John Cresto and Jake Kelzer. Several others draftees (9) announced they would either be going back to school or honoring their college commitments.
Ian Happ has been playing for two weeks now, but many of the signees began play this past week in Arizona and Eugene. Some had better debut weeks than others, but you can’t overreact to what they have done so far when most of them have had as much as six weeks off.
