Cubs need a leadoff hitter...plain and simple. An agitator - a guy who gets on base a lot....like Dexter Fowler - I do not want Fowler back, but someone similar. He would play 2nd of or CF.
I am guessing they sign either Machado or probably Harper.
The pitching was fine.
But - do you continue with: Schwarber, Happ, Russell, Contreas (terrible 2nd half). And Bryant was shell of his former self - automatic out.
