After two years of acquiring talent, this is the year where u finally start to see some of the homegrown cornerstone pieces that will eventually turn the Cubs franchise around. Aside from guys like Rizzo and Castro who are primed for bounce back seasons, we got a former top prospect of the Rangers(Mike Olt) looking to get his career on track after suffering injury setbacks last season. A cat named Justin Ruggiani who was once a redsox minor league player of the year but career got derailed due to injury. Dude can hit plus he's a threat on the basepaths w/ his speed. We got a 5 tool cat in center named Junior Lake that's has top tier talent but lacks consistency. We upgraded the bullpen which was our biggest issue last season, aside from scoring with RISP. Still have shark and Wood who had very respectable years last season. Arrieta showed electric stuff before being injured.
Cubs won't win many games this season but they will be competitive. Later in the season you'll see more of our young guns. Baez, Bryant, Hendricks, Alcantara, Ramirez, Vizcaino.
I know all prospects dont pan out but we're in a far better place than we were 2 years ago. Future looking bright

Cubs should of unloaded the Mack truck for Tanaka.
You guys desperately need pitching, that will turn around your franchise.

The Royals seem like they could be kind of stacked if Ventura is as advertised.
The Brewers are interesting to me too, they could have a stacked offense.

Yeah, but we did made him the second highest offer tho. He went to the Yanks cuz they're in win now mode. Aslo had the second highest bid for that chinese nikka that went to the rangers. Offered Sanchez the same as Detroit but he played us.We got some nice under rated arms in the system tho. Hendricks, CJ Edwards(minor league pitcher of the year), Pierce Johnson, Ramirez&Viscaino(relievers with
type stuff) Paul Blackburn, Duane Underwood.You right tho. We need that major league talent. I can see us potentially trading for Price this season while possibly adding nikkas like Schzer and Masterson in the offseason. Plus we got the 4th pick in the draft and word is that we'll still be able to snatch a top pitching prospect if we wanted to. Theo building a monster tho.
