We're not exactly fielding the same team as last season. Pie will finally be given the chance to start everyday..he's a question mark on his production. Soto is the same way. Will the pitching be once again one of the best staffs in the National League, and if not, which pitcher is going to cause that? There are a lot of people on the Cubs roster that are currently slated to start that have potential for great upside, but also potential for great downside. By the deadline we'd have a better idea which ones became good everyday players and which ones need to be replaced. ok...i will agree with the soto and pie factor...although soto can't be any worse than the musical chairs we had at catcher last year... but we already know that we need an upgrade at SS, and another starter better than marquis...i would even be willing to say that an upgrade like roberts over derosa will pay dividends as well...unless somehow he has an outstandingly huge career year...which i doubt will happen... and don't get me wrong, i am excited about fukudome...but i believe there is probably going to be an adjustment period for him...kind of like soriano last season... i may be in the minority here, but i think the smartest thing for hendry to do would be to try as hard as possible to get another starter before the season begins...
