Wait Till Next Year part 2
As I was saying in my article about the CUBS, it will be hard to pass the Cardinals for 1st place but I think they can do it this year. I left off the CUBS' infield. At shortstop will be Neifi Perez who is very good defensively, even though they lost Garciaparra. I still think they'll be good. They also have a very young shortstop, Ronny Cedeno. At third base is Aramis Ramirez who is very good offensiveley and defensiveley and hits 30 HR plus. At catcher is Michael Barrett who is very good offensiveley and defensiveley, he had his career high 24 HR last year. I've already told you about first base, second base and outfield on part 1 but i'll say it again. For the outfield they have Jacque Jones who gets 20 plus HR's a year. At centerfield will surely be an ace, Juan Pierre, who gets 50 or 60 steals a year. He can bunt for hits and is also very good defensiveley. Their leftfielder Matt Murton is also good. For 1st base and 2nd base is Todd Walker and Derrick Lee who last year had 46 HR's 107 RBI's and had an average of .335. Now doesn't that tell you something? Todd Walker their 2nd baseman who is very good defensiveley.
