Last season Cubs were projected to be a sub-par baseball team. Yes , they fooled us with a 90 + winning season and getting past their rivals in the postseason. Yet , we all know the sad ending to the Cubs postseason run.
Problems the Cubs had Last season was Starting Pitching Depth , Strikeouts , and Leaving Runners on base.
Additions
S/P John Lackey
2B Ben Zobrist
OF Jason Heyward
RP Adam Warren
With these additions it clearly brings the Cubs as the #1 team in the NL even the MLB. The Cubs are on everyone hit list so far. The offense Zobrist and Heyward bring will compliment the young Cubs players. They get on base a lot and less strikeouts also Heyward and Zobrist improve the defense by ALOT.
Taking From The Cardinals , Cubs Will Have The Last Laugh
Cubs took John Lackey and Jason Heyward from the Cardinals which were The Cards best WAR players on the team. The Cardinals GM didn't like it at all. With those additions the Cubs made the Cardinals a weaker team leaving them holes to fill on offense and on the pitching side.
Prediction On The NL Central
1. Cubs
2. Cardinals
3.Pirates
4.Brewers
5.Reds ( will be last in the MLB )
