After missing much of the 2016 season, Brett Anderson brings a lot of question marks to the Chicago Cubs this season. He underwent a procedure to repair a bulging disc in his back last year. By all indications, should be ready for the workload of a starting pitcher this spring.
His former club, the Los Angeles Dodgers, ran into the buzzsaw in last year’s NLCS, falling to the Cubs in six games. En route to a World Series championship, Anderson drew fire for some comments he made on Twitter during the postseason.
Recently, Anderson clarified his comments, while still standing by what he said.
