The Oaks of the System: An Iowa Cubs Primer

You could be forgiven, were you an Iowa Cubs fan, for feeling just a little bit aggrieved at the moment. A perfect storm (of crap, from their perspective at least) has prevented the Principal Park faithful from even enjoying a single game of what was supposed to be a comically stacked infield.

Before the season, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register implored I-Cubs supporters to catch the “special trio of Iowa Cubs infielders while they’re still around.” For those of you who haven’t been paying attention, that “special trio” consisted of Cubs uber-prospects Kris Bryant and Addison Russell, with a Javy Baez chaser.
