Monthly Cubs Prospect Poll at Bleacher Nation

Ace has solicited a bunch of Cub bloggers to vote in a monthly ranking of Cubs prospects. The pre-season results have been posted.

My ballot -

1 Vitters a rarity - a genuine Cubs hitting prospect
2 Samardzija bullpen or Iowa
3 Cashner A bit away, but could be a set-up man sooner than later
4 Jackson Rising fast, no longer a dark horse
5 Stevens From Cleveland to Chicago
6 Hart Has such a nice breaking pitch, can he get it back together?
7 Castillo Blocked by Soto, but could be insurance
8 Flaherty Could be the real deal at short, or so I'm told
9 Colvin Sinking
10 Caridad Rising - keep throwing strikes and throwing 95….
11 Lee Shortstop of the future?
12 Rhee Probably should be higher, but I just don't know that much about him yet
13 Hoffpauir He can hit, that's for sure
14 Barney Could be a serviceable utility man soon
15 Maestri Back to bullpen fulltime, adding a splitter - impressive WBC work - my dark horse

Other than Stevens and Hart, your ballot really tracked the overall results very well. Clearly, you know your Cubs prospects.
