Atlanta, Arizona, Cincy, Minnesota, Boston, White Sox, Houston, Dodgers, Milwaukee, Philly, STL, Texas and Toronto all have more threats on their benches than the Cubs. The Cubs have no threats, and none of their bench players are doing anything good. Before I posed that question, I took a cursory look at some rosters around the league. Two that I looked at were Boston and StL. I'm sorry, but you're just not going to convince me that they're any better off than the Cubs. Boston Mirabelli - Blanco - wash Snow - Mabry - wash Cora - Neifi - wash Harris - Pagan - wash Mohr - Hairston - wash Seriously? Mirabelli is so much better than Blanco it's not funny. Mohr is exactly what our bench needs, a platoon split power hitter from the right hand side. And even then, an AL bench is constructed differently because of it's frequency of use.
