[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1191941, member: 26283"] Spring Training questions for Cubs: 1. What role can Baez carve out for himself? 2. Can any of Cahill, Warren or Wood (or someone else) break into the starting rotation? 3. Is Neil Ramirez healthy and back to 2014 form? 4. Montero, Ross, Rizzo, Zobrist, Baez, Russell, Bryant, Soler, Heyward, Schwarber, Coghlan. That's 11 guys. Assuming they break camp with 12 position players, who's #12? Figure it's LaStella's to lose, but can a younger player like Alcantera, Villanueva, or Szczur break through? 5. Assuming an 8-man pen, who are the 7 behind Rondon? Figure Cahill, Wood, Warren (or Hammel or Hendricks if one of the above makes the rotation) plus Strop and Grimm account for five. Brothers and Ramirez seem like the next two. Again, can a younger kid like Jokisch, Acevedo or Edwards break through? 6. Can all the important parts (Rizzo and Arrieta!!!) stay healthy? [/QUOTE]
