Wins, as you know, don’t mean much (if anything) in Spring Training. Lineup selection, pitcher choices and minor leaguers playing half the games are all indications that the games aren’t played the way regular-season games are, and that we should probably discount wins and losses for the Cubs this spring.
Nevertheless, no matter what, winning is better than losing and some Cubs players do look particularly good so far in the early spring going.
