Farm Report from MiLB.com

An innocuous looking link on Cubs.com to "Cubs organizational preview" was a very pleasant surprise.

It includes profiles of 14 top prospects, and a 2007 draft recap that covers 7 more in brief. One guy I wish was covered more than just the draft blurb is Darwin Barney, the former Oregon State shortstop. He may be the cure for Dance Fever someday.

The Cubs have a wealth of catching prospects. News out of camp says Casey McGehee has made the switch (while Jake Fox has apparently hung up the tools) and there are three guys mentioned in the article - Josh Donaldson, Wellington Castillo and Steve Clevenger. And then there's our rookie starter, Geovany Soto.

We'll see if the Cubs start flipping some of this young talent in July.
