The first month of the minor league season was mostly good for the Chicago Cubs, who saw a range of strong performances and surprising breakouts.
Two prospects in particular who really seemed to flip the switch this offseason were Triple-A infielder Pedro Ramirez (discussed constantly) and High-A starting pitcher Brooks Caple (discussed a bit), and they’ve now taken home monthly honors for their efforts.

From the official MiLB release on the awards:
