The Book on Josh Vitters
Prospect Info
Josh Vitters
Born 8/27/1989
3B, CHC
The Chicago Cubs made Vitters the third overall pick in the 2007 draft, and the hope in Hopeland is that he'll develop 25-homer power in time to replace the declining Aramis Ramirez. He's not a perfect prospect, however. In addition to wishy-washy discipline (he strikes out four times as often as he walks), one cause for concern is that he might need to move from third base to left field, but if he continues to maintain his overall offensive numbers at higher levels of play, the Cubs will find room for him.
