Fact: The Chicago Cubs lineup can score runs. This was evident in 2016 with the team scoring 808 runs, good enough for third-most in the Majors Leagues. Of those runs, 84 scored off the legs of the now-departed Dexter Fowler. That was through 125 games. In 2015, Fowler accounted for 102 runs in 156 games. That is 12.4% of all Cubs runs in the last two years.

Where can the Cubs generate that production with Fowler now on a rivals’ team?
