Just had to point out that I feel that this is just very inaccurate, unless you have an extremely demanding definition of "a lot." Do you realize how bad the production out of CF and 1B was for the Cubs last year? Even average seasons out of Lee and Sori would be vast improvements over last year. Yeah, but we could very easily be last year's Phillies, with tons of runs scored, but enough allowed to negate that. The 2006 Phillies would have won the NLC. They were unfortunate to have a 97 win team in their division. While 85 wins isn't stellar, it says something about the value of having a good offensive team (even when the pitching is suspect). The Cubs starting pitching is questionable but it is possible that it will be better overall than the Phillies had last year. Decent overall pitching coupled with, what looks to be, a potent offense may equal 85-90 wins for the Cubs.
