I’m totally good with being told a tall tale. One of the best ways to tell a tall tale is to spin the yarn without much of an introduction. A popular tall tale on Facebook the last week or so is how the Cubs can work around their seeming Trevor Williams problem. He’s struggled as much as any starting pitcher, most of the relievers, and a bunch of the Cubs hitters. Today’s question: If not Williams, who is currently scheduled to start Wednesday’s game against the Pirates, then who is the Cubs’ fifth starter?
Through the off-season, regardless how much anyone wants to hoot or howl, Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer had a budget limit.
