For whatever you might think of the decision the Chicago Cubs made in demoting top prospect Kris Bryant to Triple-A Iowa prior to the season, what really matters is that he will now be a member of a major league team as of Friday, April 17, a day that will apparently live in baseball infamy. Those 12 days weren’t too painful, were they? It’s still April, and that's still plenty of time for the Cubs -- and for our purposes, fantasy owners -- to reap the power goodness everyone seems to expect. Perhaps it’s time to actually forget about money and team control and get to the good stuff, as in the statistics this prodigy figures to supply.

There’s little question about the light-tower power, which Bryant showcases to all fields.
