Chicago Cubs: Building an all-decade starting lineup

In the first five years (2010-14) of the decade we saw a lot of upsetting seasons and a lot of good potential going somewhere else. During this stretch, the Chicago Cubs went 346-464 under four different managers. We also saw the fall of some great players for the organization like Carlos Zambrano who finished his 11-year career with the Cubs in 2010.

After 2014 the Cubs hired a new skipper, former Tampa Baya guru Joe Maddon, who promptly led the Cubs to four postseason appearances in five years with the club. In 2016, Maddon led the Cubs to an impressive record of 103-58-1 and a World Series title over the Cleveland Indians in seven games.
