Generally speaking, I think players defensive weaknesses are overrated about as much as I think "high end prospects" are overrated. However, this spring, the Cubs have been terrible defensively. I know plenty of the errors have come from minor league players, but it seems every game there's been at least 1 unearned run against us. If that trend continues, it's really going to bite the team in the ass.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This team is incredibly weak up the middle. I know that isn't a profound observation, but we seriously may need to put up 2008-like offensive numbers just to remain competitive, especially withing the bullpen looking so iffy as well. I'm prepared for the worst.
