When I first got to see this year’s Iowa Cubs in action, my initial thought was that these young men have come a long way since Kane County in 2013. That is when I saw most of them in action as Cubs for the first time. I remember Albert Almora patrolling center, Dan Vogelbach drilling the ball all over the field, Willson Contreras slowly adjusting to catching, Pierce Johnson dominating on the mound (when healthy), Felix Pena struggling to adjust to starting, and Armando Rivero throwing gas with no idea where the ball was going to go. Those were exciting times.
