Billy McKinney joined Tennessee after leading the Carolina League in all three slash categories. (Andrew Green/Tennessee Smokies)
For the Cubs, Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler and Addison Russell may be leading the way, but when this kid and Schwarber are added to the mix, the Cubs lineup is going to be tough to beat. I still can't believe they pried both Russell and McKinney from the A's. Somewhere down the line you have to think that Billy Beane is going to regret losing those two studs.

Tennessee's talented lineup racked up 14 hits in the win, and the Smokies' 3-4-5 hitters -- Chicago's No. 4 prospect Kyle Schwarber, No. 15 Dan Vogelbach and Contreras - combined to go 7-for-12 with a double, six runs scored and three RBIs.
"I just try to pick their brains, to be honest," McKinney said of his new teammates. "I try to get smarter with everything they do. Watching Vogelbach and Schwarber, they just have great at-bats every time. It's fun watching them and learning from them."
