Baseball America put together a list of the top NL prospects per position who did not make their team's Top 10 prospects list, and three of them were Cubs.
Kyler Burke, rf, Cubs: Barely a year after making Burke the 35th overall pick in the 2006 draft, the Padres sent him to the Cubs in a trade for Michael Barrett. Burke finally got his bat going in 2009. Still just 21, he can hit for average with solid power while showing one of the best outfield arms in the minors.
Jeffry Antigua, lhsp, Cubs: Just 19, Antigua is poised for a breakout season after easily handling older hitters last summer. He has advanced feel for his age, not to mention three pitches that should be average or better. He can make his 89-91 mph fastball run to either side of the plate, and his changeup is even more effective.
John Gaub, rp, Cubs: One scout calls Gaub the best lefthanded reliever in the minors and predicts he'll be an asset in Chicago's bullpen next season. Part of the Indians' payment for Mark DeRosa, Gaub can devastate lefties and righties with his 91-96 mph fastball and 84-90 mph slider. He just needs to refine his command a bit more.

Shocking that Dickerson has moved on to Baltimore...he's always seemed to be the McFail type...
