Cubs need to save their money
Forget about Yu Darvish & Jake Arrieta & Alex Cobb + any other high-priced free agents. They have a lot of young players who are going to be very expensive soon. Also forget about Bryce Harper because they can't afford him. Their opening day 25-man roster should be:
lineup/
- Kris Bryant 3B
- Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
- Willson Contreras C
- Kyle Schwarber (L) DH (3rd catcher)
- Javier Baez 2B
- Ian Happ (S) LF
- Albert Almora Jr. CF
- Jason Heyward (L) RF
- Addison Russell SS
rotation/
- Jon Lester (L)
- Kyle Hendricks
- Jose Quintana (L)
- Tyler Chatwood
- Mike Montgomery (L)
- Jen-Ho Tseng
bullpen/
- Brandon Morrow
- Pedro Strop
- Steve Cishek
- Carl Edwards Jr.
- Justin Grimm
- Justin Wilson (L)
- Rob Zastryzny (L)
bench/
- Victor Caratini (S) C/1B
- Tommy La Stella (L) 2B/3B
- Ben Zobrist (S) INF/OF
