A Look at the Peoria Chiefs and Boise Hawks

The Peoria Chiefs feature several of the top prospects in the Cubs organization this season. From Hak-Ju Lee to Logan Watkins to Jae-Hoon Ha have played for the Chiefs this season ... as well as one of the top arms in the Cubs' system, Trey McNutt.

Peoria was recently in Kane County playing the Cougars and one of the Faithful was in attendance for those games. Grant emailed the CCO a few photos of the Chiefs as well as the Hawks and shared a few his observations ...

Notes on a few of the Cubs' young prospects:

Hak-Ju Lee
Lee has shown improvement this season both at the plate and in the field. Lee's speed is as advertised and plays ball as perfect as you would want an A-baller to. Lee has a lot of range at short.

Logan Watkins
Watkins show flashes of a very good player but is in consistent

Jae-Hoon Ha
Ha hit for the cycle the weekend Grant saw the Chiefs. Ha hit a homer and was the most impressive player that weekend.

Brandon May
May was also impressive and could end up as one of the Cubs' top 20 prospects in the off-season.

Matt Cerda
Cerda is a scrappy player with a strong arm that needs to work on his offense

well, in reading the paper today, it looks like Colvin won't be playing much 1B after all. Can he really be that bad over there ? I just don't get it.

There are no real FA options out there this winter. If they sign Dunn, they are absolutely insane. It will just be another wasted contract. I have written many times why I hate Dunn, so I don't want to repeat myself. I just hope they smart enough not to waste that kind of dough on the 2010 version of Dave Kingman. I hope. :-)

Brandon May is a very good prospect and is probably the Cubs' first baseman of the future. However, he looks like he might be two years away, so it would be in the team's best interest to sign a low cost player who can "hold down the fort". That's why I beleive that the Cubs will make an offer to Xavier Nady after the season.

Grant

Im sorta worried about his knee, he wore a brace the whole weekend and said it was hurting, not sure whats going on there..

cc002600...while I agree with you re: Dunn...The Cubs will do some sort of head scratcher move just to put fannies in the seats to begin next season...I'm not sure Ricketts will allow Hendry to pay that much money for one player for awhile though.

Grant

Also another thing, on Nelson Perez, if he gets his head on straight, i think hes real threat, he has a good-very fgood arm, srong bat and BIG presence

il see them sept 1,2,3 and 6th, so il let ya know what i think of a lotta players from the start to finish of the year!
