Jake Arrieta had a terrific season! He's was the Cub's Ace in 2014. Jake almost had a no-hitter on several occasions and finished the year with a low ERA!
Once Lester figures it out in Chicago, there rotation will be extremely underrated and good. Jason hammel has great success with Chicago and Kyle Hendricks has great control and good up and coming pitcher
***** hard to tell right now, maybe in the next few years when the young bucks have a little more experience because the team already has a lot of raw talent so can't tell yet
***** The Cubs are still I believe a year or 2 away, a big if because the were talking about the Cubs. It's hard to rely on guys like Solar, Russel, and even Bryant to sustain success once the league figures them out and adjustments will have to be made. Solar is hasn't homered in at least a month and has a hit a wall since April. Rizzo and Castro, who's also slumping and a liability on defense are really the only 2 established players in the lineup at this point, not counting Montero and Fowler who shouldn't be relied on to carry the offense. Too many rookies they rely on for offensive production and a below average bullpen to boot.
chicagodude8888 just wait soler will come around and bryant is already proving he is capable of being a future star, your guys team is very young and they will be scary not this year but the years to come.
hes had great 2014 2015 years one was cy young a good season in 2016 with a ws trophy and is having one down year in 2017 and my fellow cub fans want him gone. ungrateful fake fans and might i add 2 no hitters!
