Cubs prospect Albert Almora jumps back into top the 100 prospects list

Almora set a record by playing for six U.S. national teams before signing with the Cubs for $3.9 million as the sixth overall pick in the 2012 Draft. One of the most advanced position players to come out of high school in recent years, he has outstanding instincts in all phases of the game. His pro career hasn’t gone quite as smoothly as hoped, as he had hamate and groin injuries in 2013 and struggled for much of 2014, though he did reach Double-A at age 20.
