Projecting lineups and rosters is always part folly, but I’ll take a stab at it today.
- Catchers: Yan Gomes and Miguel Amaya will make the team but I expect Amaya to be the starter at some point this season.
- First Base: Michael Busch won the job and Garrett Cooper will be his primary backup, but the Cubs have several other options.
- Second Base: Nico Hoerner will be Chicago’s best player this season.
- Shortstop: Dansby Swanson, of course.
