Bowman 2009 Cubs Prospects

A complaint I have heard about 2009 Bowman is that they don’t have many decent prospects in the set. I hope that is true because the Cubs prospects that Bowman featured seem very underwhelming.



BP #10 Jose Ceda is no longer in the Cubs organization. He was traded to the Marlins on November 13, 2008 for reliever Kevin Gregg. Are there trade-backs? Can we have him back please? We don’t want Gregg any more.



BP #8 Jericho Jones was a 20th round choice in the 2008 draft. He led Louisiana Tech with .364 average and 46 RBI in 54 games, and smacked 13 home runs. Jones had a .340 batting average in 43 games in the Arizona Rookie League in 2008. He is currently on the roster of the Cubs Extended Spring Training team in Arizona. You would think he would have been placed on one of the Class A teams if the Cubs felt he had a future.



BP #55 Nelson Perez was a free agent signing by the Cubs in 2006, coming from the Dominican Republic. He was signed as a pitcher but has been converted to the outfield. He spent 2007 & 2008 with the Cubs rookie team in Arizona. This year he is with the Peoria Chief (Low A) and is hitting .209 in 40 games.



BP #56 Drew Rundle was drafted by the Cubs in the 14th round in 2006, coming out of high school. In four years he has yet to rise above Class A. He started the season with Daytona (High A) but was sent to Peoria on May 1 and is hitting .182 in 20 games with the Chiefs.
