I think we could all agree that the biggest weak spot for the 2015 Cubs so far has been the bullpen. Specifically, the 6th and 7th inning. While there’s no easy or quick fix for something like this, it is looking as though the front office is maneuvering a couple of our minor league pitching prospects to possibly step into this role sometime this season.
C.J. Edwards (now known as Carl Edwards, Jr)
I’m not sure what has motivated the desire in the name change, but either way, Edwards made the shift to the bullpen at the beginning of the season, and after a promotion to AAA Iowa on May 29, it appears as though the Cubs are readying him for a move to the bullpen at Wrigley this summer.
