ANTHONY RIZZO RUMORS

Cubs eager for breakout season from 1B Rizzo
(Eds: With AP Photos.) By MIKE TULUMELLO Associated Press The Chicago Cubs need a breakout season from Anthony Rizzo.

Chicago Cubs: Pressure on Theo Epstein
Will the Cubs have more success in Theo’s second season on the job?
In 2011 he was signed to five-year deal worth $18.5 million. So far, the so-called savior has not made a huge impact on the Chicago Cubs, as they have not reached the post season yet under his regime.

Anthony Rizzo vs left-handed pitching
Let me start by saying that this post is not the least bit inspired by Anthony Rizzo's 3 strikeouts in 6 plate appearances vs lefties this season. It's 6 plate appearances. That's it. This is something I've been meaning to write since the 2012 season ended and I'm just finally getting around to it.

2013 Cubs projections: Anthony Rizzo
A little over a week ago, we started our 2013 Cubs projections series by looking at Welington Castillo. The plan is to just go from catcher to 1st to 2nd and so on. Up today is Anthony Rizzo.
