We are roughly 15 days away from Spring Training, and for every baseball fan, that’s a glorious statement. However, when you get to this point in the season, every aspect of the 2017 Chicago Cubs is being dissected in great detail.
Again, the Cubs are World Series champs, and that’s a pretty great place to start, but as Chris Martin mentioned yesterday, it’s important to find the pain points Cubs fans should keep an eye on entering Spring Training.
For me, and I’ve made no attempt to hide it, is a minor concern in the bullpen.
My worries are two-fold … first, the end of last year perhaps wasn’t the best for confidence building down in the pen.
