The Chicago Cubs cannot afford to leave any stone unturned. They are in a tight race with the Philadelphia Phillies for the NL Wild Card. Therefore, the team needs their star players on the field.
Pete Crow-Armstrong has homered eight times across five of the Cubs’ last 10 games, yet his team is 2-3 when he homers and 5-5 overall. That doesn’t mean he’s any less valuable than his season statistics clearly indicate, but it’s a reminder that one player can’t do it all.
The MLB Draft doesn’t get the same attention as the NFL Draft…or the NBA Draft…or even the NHL Draft. There’s the element of a stay in a farm system, the general lack of immediate impact for MLB draft picks, and the fact that it’s tougher for one MLB player to turn a franchise’s fortunes around.
I see a lot of discussion on this one. Craig Counsell has hit the point where he’s deciding between two less than optimal options. The Cubs had to decide between a tiring starter or a bullpen that has not even one lockdown arm out there.
The Chicago Cubs, on Monday, blew a prime opportunity to beat the division rival Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. A Labor Day win may not have meant a whole lot in the race for the NL Central Division top spot—the Cubs still would’ve been six games behind with precious little time left in the regular season.

The Chicago Cubs are gearing up for what they hope is a lengthy playoff run. If all goes to plan, Edward Cabrera would be operating in a pivotal role out of the bullpen.
