Spring training is in full swing, and the recent Cubs vs. Angels matchup has sparked some exciting discussions about the future of both teams. With standout performances from prospects like Cole Fontenelle, Moises Ballesteros, and Kevin Alcantara, it raises some intriguing questions about the direction of these franchises.

Fontenelle's comeback from injury is nothing short of inspiring. After a tough 2024 season, he not only contributed significantly in the game but also showcased his potential with a late-game home run. How do you think injuries impact a player's trajectory in the long run? Can Fontenelle reclaim his status as a top prospect, or will he always be seen as a what could have been?

On the Cubs' side, Ballesteros and Alcantara are making waves. Ballesteros, at just 21, is already being touted as a key piece for the Cubs' future behind the plate. Alcantara's two-run bomb was a highlight, but will it be enough to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster? What do you think the Cubs need to do to ensure these young talents develop into stars?

As we look ahead to the season, what bold predictions can you make about these prospects? Will any of them make a significant impact in the majors this year? Or are we looking at a longer development timeline?

Let’s dive into the discussion! What are your thoughts on the performances of these young players, and how do you see their futures unfolding?
