Bold prediction: this is the year Dexter Fowler puts it all together and produces a random 4+ WAR season. 

When the Cubs clinch a playoff spot, we'll look back at the Fowler acquisition as the move that put the Cubs over the top.  The Lester deal will obviously have the biggest impact, but they were still a little short of being a real contender until they got Fowler.

I hope you are right, but I suspect he will more likely end up being the 2015 version of Johnny Callison in 1970, or Lou Johnson in 1968.

I think I would take the over on that bet.

I can't imagine a better way for the Cubs to pay tribute to Ernie Banks' legacy than that.

I guarantee they will win 14 games this year.  Possibly in April.

2015 Cubs:  75 wins   (75 - 87)


Ya know, in my gut, I feel this is probably more like what their record will be this year, But I went with my number trying to be optomistic

Last year it took 88 wins in each league to make the playoffs, though 86 wins would have made it in the NL, it would have fallen short in the AL.

In 2013 it would have fallen short in both leagues.  The same in 2012 and 2011.
