Countdown to Pitchers and Catchers: 2 Days
Joe Maddon wants his team to embrace the target and embrace the pressure, well it’s a good thing the Cubs skipper started preparing for the hype months in advance of the 2016 season.
FanGraphs has the Cubs winning 94 games. USA Today predicted 101 wins and PECOTA projected 92 victories for the Cubs in 2016 with an NL Central title and a trip back to the post-season tournament. No pressure whatsoever on the Cubs with three days left before the first official on-field workout.
ESPN’s David Schoenfield wrapped up his pre-season rankings Tuesday with the six teams he thinks are the best in the game as Spring Training begins.
