2. Willson Contreras 

Jeimer Candelario is the name that gets added to the list of Top Hitting Prospects going into the 2016 season.

Why Should Kris Bryant Be On The Opening Day Roster?

Everyone knows Kris Bryant's story. Simply put, the kid is a freak. With a college player of the year award and minor league player of the year award under his belt, the power hitting third baseman is more than ready to take the field against the highest level of competition. But the talk around the league is whether or not Bryant will start the season at Wrigley. Of course if Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer keep him hanging around the minors until about April 17th, that gives them another year of control. That means they will trade out 9 days of his rookie season for one full year of service in his prime. According to Hoyer and Epstein, any decision to keep Bryant in the minors will be strictly baseball related. Obviously he is ready for the bigs so why not bring him up? But do not worry, I'm here to tell you why none of this matters.
