Are you the least bit surprised to see Anthony Rizzo in the top spot of this list?
You shouldn't be, as the guy is just tearing up the minor leagues.
Through 169 at-bats, Rizzo is batting .355 with 16 home runs and 43 RBI. Those numbers just jump off the page, and it would be quite surprising if Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer didn't fold soon enough in bringing him up.
Heck, they have to. Rizzo appeared in 49 games last year for the San Diego Padresand hit miserably, batting just .141 with nine RBI.
If the Cubs see a similar pattern when they end up calling him up, they may realize that Rizzo just isn't fit for the big leagues.
While fans are hoping he will be a force to be reckoned with, the Cubs must make sure that their top guy is ready to perform now.
