For the Chicago Cubs, most of the projections are coming up gravy for them. Most pick the Cubs to win the division, although the amount of wins varies between each. BP released its PECOTA projections yesterday, and it has the Cubs winning the Central by a few games. But some of the other numbers left us scratching our heads, especially with the pitching staff. Will no one win more than 13 games? It’s just a forecast, but it’s a little hard to believe.
We’ve dodged around all the possible candidates for the Cubs’ leadoff role. While some have been more valid than others, we’ve gotten to the one the fans have been clamoring for.
