Rebuild or Re Tool?   This weekend the Cubs will be playing one of the hottest teams in baseball, the Atlanta Braves.   The Braves are currently on a 14 game winning streak. The Cubs meanwhile are on a 10 game losing streak. This is some of the worst baseball the Cubs have played since before the Theo and Jed …

The Cubs are off to a pretty good start. Winning two of three (fourth game was postponed to May 30th as part of a double header) against the division favorite Milwaukee Brewers to open the season, the Cubs went to Pittsburgh and split a quick two game set. Starting 3-2 isn’t too bad for a team that was projected to …

The big headline in the Cubs outfield this spring is the arrival of Seiya Suzuki. However, one of his new teammates never reached any significant level of stardom that he was supposed to with his previous organization.  Clint Frazier could likely look at Suzuki and hope that he does not fail to meet expectations as he did in New York. …

  With baseball at a standstill and the Cubs’ outfield having many question marks in it, I thought it would be a good time to consider one of the Cubs’ streakiest players: Ian Happ. Why Happ? Happ has been playing with the Cubs since 2017, and since then it’s been a bit of a roller coaster. Although having a 100+ …

2022 Starting Outfield Projections LF: Ian Happ  CF: Rafael Ortega  RF: Jason Heyward   The Cubs outfield for the 2022 season will look a lot different from 2021.  The mix of Kris Bryant, Happ, Heyward, Jake Marisnick, and Joc Pederson patrolled the outfield for the start of 2021. No one thought that the roster would change so much by the …

Welcome to Chicago Marcus Stroman The 2022 Cubs starting rotation will have a solid foundation to build on.  Following the signing of Marcus Stroman, the Cubs rotation is looking like a well rounded group.  After a year of a team ERA of 4.87, bottom five of the league, the addition of Marcus Stroman should lower that number drastically. Stroman posted …
