Chicago Cubs: Bullpen cannot succumb to burnout

When the Colorado Rockies made Wade Davis one of the highest paid closers in baseball, the Chicago Cubs needed to figure something out quick, so as not to miss out on replacing him. Luckily, the Cubs found his replacement in Brandon Morrow, and Morrow has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Likewise, the same is said about Carl Edwards, who nearly represented the North Side as the Cubs closer. However, Edwards has done an excellent job, sans two appearances, as the go-to setup man, leading the team to one of the best back ends of any bullpen in Major League Baseball.
