When you don't score, you don't win. Nor do many people move up the statistical ladder. Despite the shutout in the Cubs postseason finale, four players moved up, and any move up makes future success more historically rewarding.
Ian Happ's two hits in last Friday’s finale bumped him to five hits. As my leader board starts at 19, he still has a distance to go. However, he looks to be a viable long-term piece, and one of the few logical restructure/extension candidates after a positive season. If he does get extended to five more seasons, he might have enough bites at the apple to pop up on a few lists
Speaking of bites at the apple, Yu Darvish might need only two more starts to hit the strikeout list, which starts at 21.
