As we continue to soldier though winter, the Cubs made yet another low-key addition in righty James Buchanan Bourque. The 27-year-old reliever was drafted by the Nationals out of the University of Michigan in 2014 and had been in their organization throughout his entire career. After a slow start that saw him miss the 2015 season due to Tommy John surgery, Bourque started posting big strikeout numbers on the strength of his fastball/curve combo.
