Notes: Up in the majors Geovanny Soto, Jae Kuk Ryu, Buck Coats, Scott Moore, and Jose Reyes ended up being the minor league callups for the Cubs this September; Also, a couple days ago, the Cubs acquired Adam Harben from the Twins for Phil Nevin. Harben appears to be a decent prospect, and would most likely be a guy in the 11-20 range now for the Cubs; Jake Fox gets a mention in Baseball America's final Prospect Hot Sheet of the season.
