In the midst of our shared Magical Misery Tour it is interesting to speculate on the future of the Chicago Cubs – because right now that’s all we fans have. I have spent some time considering the players on the current team and thinking about who we might see on next year’s Opening Day roster.
Let’s start in the infield. At first base, Frank Schwindel has demonstrated significant power in his limited at-bats so far. With Patrick Wisdom playing some first also, and before we see who the Cubs pursue in the offseason, I think Schwindel has a fifty-fifty chance of making next year’s Cubs.
