It cannot be avoided for much longer. The Chicago Cubs have a problem. Sometime soon, they need to trade Christian Villanueva and Dan Vogelbach, two top prospects who are position blocked in the organization.
Yes, this is the happy state of the Cubs as we begin 2016. An overabundance of positional talent in the minor leagues now qualifies as the organization’s most pressing concern.
Vogelbach – the Cubs 2011 second round draft pick – slashed .272/.403/.425 in Double-A last year. He earned 57 walks in only 313 plate appearances last year and has power (60 career home runs in only 411 games).
