That's one of the few questions remaining now that they've traded for Wade Davis to fill the hole that Aroldis Chapman left behind.
It's a big question, however. The Cubs were 80-38 with Fowler as the leadoff man last season and 23-20 with anyone else there. He delivered an .842 OPS, which ranked eighth best in the Major Leagues among 33 players with at least 300 plate appearances as the leadoff man.
But the Cubs should be OK without Fowler. After all, they have a guy who could be the most productive No.
