So with Memorial Day being the first fence post of the season, how does everyone feel about the Cubs thus far?
Pros
-Record of 27-22 through 49 games (comparatively the Cubs were 25-24 last year at this point of the season).
-Hendricks and Lester have been solid at the top of the rotation.
-Bullpen looks to be of great quality.
-Offense leads the NL in runs/game.
-Contreras, Baez, Bryant, Almora, and Schwarber are all off to good starts.
-The reports of Schwarber being a liability on defense have been grossly exaggerated.
Areas for Improvement
-Quintana and Darvish will improve, and I am hopeful for Chatwood live up to the #5 starter he was signed to be.
-RISP has been poor.
-Rizzo will bounce back, Heyward I have less faith in.
