It’s fitting that the team ranked 29th in stolen bases was also thrown out the most on the bases this past season. With more outs on the base-path (62) than stolen bases (45), something needs to change for the Chicago Cubs.
Whether that be the players in the lineup or the mindset around it, the Cubs cannot continue to let this be an area of weakness. With the overhaul of the coaching staff going on, looking to sign a speedster or two would go a long way this offseason. One free agent that would actually fill a few holes in this respect is Billy Hamilton.
